Yes I get the same error, with or without bootclasspath, the only reason I set that is because the error message pointed to classpath and bootclasspth, so I set them just in-case to the same values.

Did you get the same error with that as well? Can you send a list of files in "C:/IBM/Java_SDK_1.6/jre/lib also make sure the java in the PATH is the same as $jdk16/bin/java
