MaReaDo,

Can you start a command prompt, then cd to where you have installed DBGL, and try this command:

java -Djava.library.path=lib -jar dbgl.jar

Does it show any errors?

MaReaDo, can you start a CMD-prompt and do the

PATH

command and then

cd /d "%SystemRoot%\system32
dir java*

and post the results here?

Something is wrong with your PATH then.

Please download the attached WhereIs program, and put it in the same directory as where you have installed DBGL.

Then start a command prompt, cd to where you have installed DBGL, and try this command:

whereis java

Please post the result here.

It may do a better job in finding JVMs.

@MiniMax: Thanks for the help and suggestions. I'll update the startup batchfile for the next release to something like yours. You are also very right about database exception handling, it needs some work in order to forward the error messages towards the GUI.

@MaReaDo: For Windows, you can set your path as follows.

Press Start - Control Panel - System - Advanced tab - Environment Variables - in system variables list select path and press edit. Make sure it contains the string (assuming you installed the JRE to the default location):

C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_09\bin;

Ok, now this sounds rather scary. Can you tell me exactly what you did to update your DBGL installation?

Regards,
Ronald

That is IMO a bad workaround. After the next Java update it will not work. Besides, MaReaDo has a Java in his path, in \WINDOWS\system32:

12/10/2006 01:35 a.m. 49.248 java.exe 28/02/2003 06:26 p.m. 187.152 javacypt.dll 28/02/2003 06:26 p.m. 139.536 javaee.dll 12/06/ […]

And those are fairly recent, consistent with his install of JRE 1.5.

I'm not sure that I fully understand what you're saying. What I believe is wrong is that the database.script file in your database subdirectory is the included default (=empty) one. I hope that you made a backup of this file prior to updating so you can restore it.

Ok, let me know if you need help. I'll make an extra note on the website to warn people for this, hopefully before more victims come in...

Maybe that file could contain some version numbering in the filename
so it doesn't get overwritten. Dunno if that makes sense.
