Uhhh

Ran through the install and when I try launching Spark nothing happens. No program in the task list or anything. When I try to uninstall I receive an error:

The JVM could not be started. The main method may have thrown an exception.

I’'m running XP SP2. I even tried reinstalling Java JRE with no luck. Any ideas? I wanted to try spark due to some issues we are having running the wildfire server with pandion.

Here is my error.log file:

Hmm. Could you try the web version to see if it may be just a corrupted install.

Thanks,

Derek

Yea the web version did work… I tried re-downloading the app and re-installing it. The install goes through just fine but when I try to launch nothing happens. Same error when trying to uninstall as well…

Hi Chris,

I’'m the process of releasing 1.0.3 which will have a no JRE download option. Would you be willing to try out an “early” version?

Cheers,

Derek

Sure

You know, this is what is happening to me when I try running it as a domain user or power user instead of admin on an active directory. Nothing happens whe you click the .exe. Is there any workaround for this?

Ok I found a workaround for this problem. It seems to have something to do with java and windows XP, I have gone around other problems concerning java in this way.

Go to the .exe file, right click it and go to compatability. Then run it in windows 2000 compatability mode and it will work.

Awesome… worked here as well. Thanks
