Hi, In order to use the workaround Alan suggested in hits previous email, make sure you download the self-extracting version of Taverna for Windows (as opposed to the Windows installer version). This will let you modify the Taverna startup script to include the fix for the myExperiment.
Here is how: (1) Download the self-extracting version of Taverna from http://launchpad.net/taverna/t2/2.1.0/+download/taverna-workbench-2.1.0.exe (2) Save it in say C:\<some_dir> and extract it in the same folder. (3) You will get a folder like C:\<some_dir>\taverna-workbench-2.1.0\ after extraction. (4) Using Windows Explorer, go to C:\<some_dir>\taverna-workbench-2.1.0\ folder and you'll see a file called taverna-debug.bat. (5) Right-click on it and select Edit option. Edit the file to include the line: set ARGS=%ARGS% -Duser.language=en after set ARGS=%ARGS% -Draven.profile=file:conf/current-profile.xml set ARGS=%ARGS% -Djava.system.class.loader=net.sf.taverna.raven.prelauncher.BootstrapClassLoader set ARGS=%ARGS% -Dsun.swing.enableImprovedDragGesture set ARGS=%ARGS% -Dtaverna.startup=. So you'll taverna-debug.bat should now look something like: @ECHO OFF REM Taverna startup script REM go to the distribution directory pushd "%~dp0" REM 300 MB memory, 140 MB for classes set ARGS=-Xmx300m -XX:MaxPermSize=140m REM Internal system properties set ARGS=%ARGS% -Draven.profile=file:conf/current-profile.xml set ARGS=%ARGS% -Djava.system.class.loader=net.sf.taverna.raven.prelauncher.BootstrapClassLoader set ARGS=%ARGS% -Dsun.swing.enableImprovedDragGesture set ARGS=%ARGS% -Dtaverna.startup=. set ARGS=%ARGS% -Duser.language=en java %ARGS% -jar lib\prelauncher-*.jar pause REM restore current directory popd (6) To run Taverna with the new option you just added, in a command prompt, go to that folder, i.e. type: cd C:\<some_dir>\taverna-workbench-2.1.0\ and then type: taverna-debug.bat and it will fire Taverna up for you.
