Even minor and totally unrelated settings can launch deadly chain reactions. Allow it to run, then you will have to reboot.

Don’t be fast to blame software problems on single application.

After correcting it to proper one all problems with Java were instantly gone. I immediately launched ClearType Tuner from Control Panel and found setting showing gibberish number. Which successfully googled me description of bug with Java unable to read non-standard ClearType registry setting. One more error log (in application folder) was now saying (among other things) :Ĭaused by: : -60397977 incompatible with Text-specific LCD contrast key If console works but graphical interface doesn’t - there must be problem with latter.

And was actually able to install in console mode. Very weird to look for X-Server on non-Linux PC, isn’t it? So I decided to try that “-c” argument. You can also run this application in console mode withoutĪccess to an X server by passing the argument -c If you have access there is probably an X library missing. This application needs access to an X Server. Previously I had only seen logs in Windows temporary directory.Ĭould not display the GUI. I had also noticed that there was new error log created in directory with setup files. This actually fixed error messages but not crashes.

I was trying stable versions earlier so decided to go for non-stable 1.6 Update 10 Release Candidate. TracingĪfter shifting focus from install4j I decided to push Java framework. Later I slowly understood that if it was that bugged for that long time - solution would have been created and googled. I was blaming install4j during early (hundred or so) attempts to solve issue. :) StoryĪll of the software in question was similar : Recently I was approved for Woopra beta (site analytics service) and it uses desktop client written in Java… I couldn’t install. I mean really couldn’t - not even figure out reason or reproduce it on another PC. I had some Java software that I couldn’t install. Nothing except that they were working together hard at making me miserable for few months. Do you know what ClearType (font-smoothing technology in Windows) has in common with Java (programming language and one of the recommended frameworks) ?
