Jeff · 2007-12-26 19:30:50

The splash screen comes up, then dissapears... the app won't open (I have unpacked it with both WinZip10 & 7-Zip... same issues with the latest version of Open Studio and the previous one). I believe my Java is up to date as well....

Hi

(1)Do you have JVM 1.5 or superior installed ? You may also check the PATH global variable, see if you don't have several JVMs installed.
First JVM in the PATH is used to launch the product.
(2)Did you extract the file completely when you unzip the installation file. Make sure you have enough space to extract the files.
(3)Did you install the application under the hard driver directly? Sometimes, it will occur error due to long installation path.

If all seems OK, may you post the content of the .log file, located in the install directory: workspace/.metadata/

Best regards

I have the same problem here. How do I check the PATH global variable to check the JVM's? I did install JVM 1.5.0.15 on my computer and when I go to Start>Settings>Control Panel>Java and go to the update tab, it is all updated and it says that it is version 1.6.0.05. When I go to Command Prompt and enter java -version, it comes up and tells me that I have version 1.4.2.03. Not sure why this is showing this and I also need to open the TOS, but all that happens when I try to launch it is that the splash screen comes up for a few seconds then disappears and nothing else happens.

Had the same problem as Jeff above. I initially used the Windows XP unzip, but then tried again using 7zip and it worked fine.

Hello Stephanie
TOS requires JDK 1.5 or greater. You can see the log file, located in the install directory: workspace/.metadata/
You installed a new JVM on your machine, and would like to switch to this new JVM temporarily, then you can write your own bat file to modify temporarily your path variable before launching the application.

Here is a simple example of how you can change the path under Windows XP:

If here is the JRE install folder : F:\install_files\Java\JRE1.5Create a bat file: talendStart.bat and write following code:

* If the JRE install folder is: F:\install_files\Java\JRE1.5, create a bat file: talendStart.bat and type in the following code in this file: TalendOpenStudio-win32-x86.exe -vm F:\install_files\Java\JRE1.5\bin

* Then, click this bat file to launch application.

Stephanie · 2008-07-01 17:51:10

Sorry if I'm being obtuse, but could you explain that a little clearer? And I'm not sure how to create a new .bat file.

Thanks

Hello

Sorry if I'm being obtuse, but could you explain that a little clearer? And I'm not sure how to create a new .bat file.

Just create a new *.txt file and type in the code, then rename this file to talendStart.bat

Stephanie · 2008-07-02 14:28:00

Thanks so much. I had to uninstall the JVM from Program Files and reinstall directly on the C drive to remove the spaces, since the .bat wouldn't run, but when I did, it ran beautifully.

Is there any way to change the settings globally somewhere so that I can just click on the .exe file to launch the application instead of the .bat file?

Hello

Remove JDK1.5 or JDK1.6 on your local machine, then reinstall it again, it should be ok by click on the .exe file to launch the application.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled both 1.5 and 1.6 several times and it doesn't seem to help. When I run java -version in Command Prompt this is what I get, no matter whether I have the 1.5 or 1.6 installed or not:

java version "1.4.2_03"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_03-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_03-b02, mixed mode)

This version of java doesn't show up in the Add/Remove Programs or in the Java folder. I'm not sure where it is located, otherwise I would remove it. Would it be possible that it is part of another application I am running?

briansms · 2008-07-03 13:59:45

Hi Stephanie,

Sorry I didn't notice this earlier, before you moved the location of the JVM, but this could probably be resolved by changing the Windows Path variable value. Do you by chance have Oracle installed on your machine? I ask because it appends it's directories to the front of the Windows system path variable and it installs a older 1.4 JVM under it's products folders. I had the same issue on a PC and ended up having to write up instructions already for some staff so this should help...

Since the Oracle installation adds its directory to the beginning of system path, it can cause the subsequent installations to not see the current versions of Perl and Java that are installed. To avoid this problem, you can move the Oracle portions of the path value be moved towards the end. To do this, open My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables (see attached screen shot).

Scroll down in the System variables pane and edit the Path variable

It might be helpful to copy the value into a text editor, modify there, and then copy it back. As an example:

Before
E:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db1\bin;E:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db1\jre\1.4.2\bin\client;E:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db1\jre\1.4.2\bin;C:\Perl\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\; ...

After
C:\Perl\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\; ... E:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db1\bin;E:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db1\jre\1.4.2\bin\client;E:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db1\jre\1.4.2\bin

Brian-

I just saw your post. Yes, I do have Oracle installed. I did what you said and it worked great. Thank you so much.

THanks also to shong for all your help.

Stephanie

briansms · 2008-07-03 14:13:56

Excellent, glad I could help.

Shong, perhaps adding a note in the prereq section of the Wiki installation page would help people to be aware of the pathing when they have Oracle installed.

I will do it..,
Thanks for your tip and sharing experience!

There's an easier way to change the path to the Java VM at run time (i.e., an easier way than creating a batch file or modifying the PATH variable).

When TOS is installed, a shortcut is created on the Windows desktop. Right-click the shortcut icon, select properties, and change the value of the "Target" field to include the "-vm" option along with the path to the JVM.

For example, on my machine I changed the "Target" value from:

D:\TOS-Win32-r16767-V3.0.0M2\TalendOpenStudio-win32-x86.exe

to:

D:\TOS-Win32-r16767-V3.0.0M2\TalendOpenStudio-win32-x86.exe -vm D:\Sun\SDK\jdk\jre\bin

and TOS launches correctly now.

Also worked for me after fixing the jre reference in the PATH and then using 7zip

It's incredible, I get an error when opening Talend itself. I even unzipped with 7z utility, but the error persists. Anyone else got a stack trace like the one I'm getting below? What do I need to do to make it work?

I have the same "java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file" error, I'm using jdk 1.6.0_06, is TOS compatible with 1.6 or only 1.5?

see [Forum, post 23364 by kzone in topic 6029] cannot launch talend V3.1.0M3 for a solution, this solution was implemented for future release 3.1.0
