Shawn Cole created GROOVY-7788: ---------------------------------- Summary: Groovy does not run on 64 bit Windows 7 Key: GROOVY-7788 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7788 Project: Groovy Issue Type: Bug Components: windows installer Affects Versions: 2.4.6 Environment: Microsoft Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit java version 1.8.0_65 Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_65-b17) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit server VM (build 25.65-b01, mixed mode)
Reporter: Shawn Cole Priority: Minor When I try to execute groovy I get: error: dynamic library C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll exists but could not be loaded! This may be caused e.g. by trying to use a 32-bit executable to load a 64-bit jvm (or vice versa) error (win code 193): (null) error: could not find client or server jvm under C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65 please check that it is a valid jdk / jre containing the desired type of jvm I have a 64 bit machine and 64 bit java, with my JAVA_HOME pointing to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65 The problem seems to be when I ran the windows installer, it installed a 32 bit version of groovy on my machine that is not able to run on the 64 bit JVM. Is there any workarounds to this? and please don't say install the 32 bit version of java, because if that is the only solution i'd rather just not learn this language. I can't seem to find any binaries specific to 64 bit or 32. Also note worthy: I can launch groovy shell and groovy console with their corresponding batch files in the bin directory successfully. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
