Hello, i support Antony's suggestion. Have had the same problem and to change the code. I use apache harmony in 64bit under windows 7 running eclipse 64bit and it works fine so far?

Today I downloaded the latest stable builds of Harmony (5.0 r946978 and 6.0 r946981) and ran them on Windows 7. In both cases I got: " Windows 6.1 is not supported HMYEXEL062E Internal VM error: Failed to create Java VM FAILED to invoked JVM. " I searched around and all I could find was this: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/harmony-dev/200711.mbox/%3Cc375 5b3a0711140205o566023as6c78a56407d81...@mail.gmail.com%3e this was from 2007 and referred to Vista, the stable builds are from May 2010 and my issue is on Windows 7, however looking at the latest version of the bit of code the above bug mentions (vm_init.cpp) it seems it is perhaps just erroring because windows 7 isn't specifically listed as a supported platform... if((osvi.dwMajorVersion == 4 && osvi.dwMinorVersion == 0) || // NT 4.0 (osvi.dwMajorVersion == 5 && osvi.dwMinorVersion == 0) || // Windows 2000 (osvi.dwMajorVersion == 5 && osvi.dwMinorVersion == 1) || // Windows XP (osvi.dwMajorVersion == 5 && osvi.dwMinorVersion == 2) || // Windows.NET (osvi.dwMajorVersion == 6 && osvi.dwMinorVersion == 0)) { // Windows Vista return JNI_OK; } printf("Windows %d.%d is not supported\n", osvi.dwMajorVersion, osvi.dwMinorVersion); return JNI_ERR; It seems this error is occurring just because the above code tries to detect specific versions rather than minimum versions (as was suggested in the post back in 2007), having said that Windows 7 has been out for almost 12 months... has it been left out specifically because there are issues on Windows 7 which mean Harmony doesn't work on it? If not then wouldn't it be a good idea to change the above code to let the JVM run and *try* to work on versions later than those specifically listed (given that I would imagine the vast majority of JVM features will work on subsequent Windows versions)? or at least allow the user to specify a command line switch to not just exit? As it stands, it seems that if someone tries to use Harmony on an updated version of windows that hasn't been specifically hard coded into the above list it will just fail whether it needs to or not? Thanks Antony
