We had some brand new XP machines in our office and for the longest time, the guys that were using them couldn't get JDBC to work on them in the Dev Studio.
Long story short, Witango dev studio relied on some particular Registry entry that was only added as part of an older Java install, but the newer ones didn't put in the same registry values. So, I had to manually make some registry modifications so those guys could use the Witango studio on their new machines... I can't remember the details, but could probably dig them up if someone needed them. Just ask me off list. /John On Sun, May 11, 2008 at 11:07 PM, Robert Garcia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I think I have the latest version of 1.4 on XP with the studio and it > works fine, but anything higher, and all sorts of issues. > > -- > > Robert Garcia > President - BigHead Technology > VP Application Development - eventpix.com > 13653 West Park Dr > Magalia, Ca 95954 > ph: 530.645.4040 x222 fax: 530.645.4040 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://bighead.net/ - http://eventpix.com/ > > On May 11, 2008, at 6:04 PM, John Beatty wrote: > > Same on XP, I have found java stuff doesn't work right, unless you use v > > > 1.4 of java.
