058 won't start: can't find (existing) QT4JAVA!
« on: Aug 8th, 2003, 12:37am » |

i downloaded 058 but it won't start (alerting that it can't find Quicktime for Java).
but i do have it actually (win2000 / quicktime 6):
- i'm able to run the video examples with 056
- i'm able to compile in an ide some java code using "import quicktime.*"
strange, no?
n.b. i tried also with "run.bat" without success (after modifying "c:\winnt\system32\qtjava.zip" to "d:\winnt\system32\qtjava.zip" because my system is on drive D rather than C)

this is a temporary issue for 58 that we'll get fixed for 59. it goes searching for qtjava in the normal location on C: and it if it doesn't find it, then you get that error message.
one way around it would be to copy qtjava.zip to a fake c:\winnt\system32\qtjava.zip and it'll run again.
we found out just after releasing 57 that things went very wrong if qtjava wasn't installed, so this was the best i could do on short notice. 59 will be less fragile and smarter about how it searches for qtjava.

one thing could help on windows:
the %QTJAVA% environment variable, set by the quicktime for java installer, which points to the required .zip file...

yeah, i think we'll use that one, and also try %WINDIR%\System32 since it gets copied there as well. we had some problems with QTJAVA being bad if you upgrade your jvm after installed qtjava.
it's too bad this stuff is so fragile. i'd love to just included the qt libs and classes right with p5, same as we do for the other stuff (serial port, jikes, opengl in testing) but i have a feeling that would cause trouble, the least of which would be licensing problems.

Had the same problem.
058 - win98
copied the file
c:\windows\system\qtjava.zip
to
c:\windows\system32\qtjava.zip
after that 058 started up.

for the people who were having trouble, are you on win98 or winme? that's odd that quicktime is installed in \system on some and \system32 on others..

for me; plain w98 - (not the SE(second edition version))
after installing QT-java support;
my qtjava.zip was in the system folder
c:\windows\system\qtjava.zip
after that I copied it to;
c:\windows\system32\qtjava.zip
and processing could start-up/worked.

fixed for 0059. qtjava is still required (this won't always be the case) but the search path is no longer so fragile.
