I installed the latest version of spark on a XP computer. It woked fine. However when user restarts the computer, spark stops starting. I mean, i double clieck the icon but nothing happens. Even there is no process when i checked the task manager. I uninstalled it and reinstall, then it started working again until next restart. After restart same thing happened.
2.5.8 version? What about 2.6.0 Beta 2 or maybe even an experimental one which you can find here http://www.igniterealtime.org/community/message/188901#188901 spark-installer.jar (though it has some bugs, but you can test is it working for you after the restart)
Ok, i tried new beta version and same thing happens. I realized something. When i try to run spark with a local or domain admin account, it works fine. However when i try to run spark with a user account, the spark process in task manager shows up and goes away. Spark never starts. When i do run as, it works ok. Now the weird thing is that there are other usres can use spark with their regular user accounts. i mean they are not admins and they can run spark. Any ideas? I already gave user modify permission over spark folder under program files.
