It has nothing to do with installer. Assignig to core. Could somebody evaluate this issue? Thanks in advance. Trung, could you assign to whomever maintains runide.exe, if not yourself? This should be simple to deal with I guess. I am sure that the reporter doesn't have JDK installed, he tried to use JRE which of course doesn't work On the NB homepage for the platform it says: "The full SDK distribution is NOT necessary, the JRE is sufficient." But the JRE does not work, because of this subdir error. Aha, you're talking about Platform not IDE per se. Well, there is a known issue w/ the Windows launcher #20955 *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 20955 *** verified, closed - it's duplicate. |
Standard Java 1.3.1_07 installation on Win2000 creates dir JavaSoft/JRE/1.3.1_07... Platform does not autodetect JDK. If given -jdkhome and -hotspot switch, NB searches for ${jdkhome}/jre/bin/...; jre subdir is not available. If jre subdir is inserted manually, everything works. Also verified on WinXP with JDK 1.4.1
