Hi Aaron,

Unfortunately I don't have access to Windows 7 to test out potential
fixes, but I made a suggestion the other day of modifying the
apollo.vmoptions file, which I'm not sure whether it would work.
If that doesn't work, we'll have to come up with an alternate
method for launching Apollo (probably a batch file).

Here's my suggestion from a few days ago:

Windows always end up being the tricky OS to get cross platform
applications running.  Perhaps you can edit the apollo.vmoptions
file but make the following modifications:

1) Merge both lines into one.  So instead of having something like:

-Xms80m
 -Xmx1000m

you can try:

-Xms80m -Xmx1000m

2) Change the -Xmx value to something sensible for your machine
(usually half of the available memory is a good start).  The installer
tries to set a reasonable value for the memory but it sometimes
seems to mess up in Windows.

Cheers,
Ed

Hi Ed: Like others, I needed to remove the apollo.vmoptions for Apollo to ru
n on Windows 7. Can you add this information to the install instructions?  H
owever, it looks like this removes the ability to increase memory?  Have you
 found a work around for that?  Aaron
