Jaspersoft Studio: "Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine" at startup

[gast951]

Win 7 Professional 32bit, Java -version = 1.7.0.51

Just installed "Jaspersoft Studio-5.5.0.final-windows-installer-x86.exe", everything left at default value.

When I start JS Studio, a window contaning the error message above appears. Software does not start.

Other PC, same Windows, same Java: no problem.

Anyone had this error and found out why this happens?

Thank you.

Hi, 
can you please file a bug in the Issue Tracker? It will be much easier to track the problem. 
Please remember to attach any error logs produced.

Best regards,

Thank you, no bug tracking needed, but perhaps interesting for others:

 

I found out that there is a second JRE (Java 6) on the PC where ist fails. I deinstalled this one. After this JS Studio started.

No other action, not even Windows restart: JS Studio won't start -> deinstall second old JRE -> JS Studio starts.

 

But when I double clicked a .jrxml file in Eclipse, I still got the error message.

But not, if I right clicked it, chose "open with" and selected JS Studio.

So I associated .jrxml files in Eclipse (Window-Preferences-General-Editors) with JS Studio, and now also double click opens JS Studio.

 

Regards

Rudi

This worked for me to resolve the above error:

- Go to the Jaspersoft Studio installation folder, open ‘Jaspersoft Studio.ini’ file using Notepad and edit it as below.

- Find the line -Xmx128m (or -Xmx1024m). Now change the default value 128m (or 1024m) to 512m.

- Save and close it.

- Now you should be able to open Jaspersoft Studio without getting the error message.
