Runtime requirements
« on: Sep 13th, 2003, 11:07am »

What are the runtime requirements?
 
I have j2skd1.4.1 and quicktime + quicktime with java.
 
When I try to run/start the application a dialog box appears saying I need to download and install Quicktime with the Java option. I did that.  
 
Even when I try to run ‘run.bat’ from a dos box with the path pointing to Quicktime it still gives me the same error.
 
Is this a versioning problem with Quicktime, because I am using version 6.
 
Thanks
 
Maybe requirement are posted some place but I have not found them.

Same here.
Fresh install of xp, sp1, j2re-1_4_2_01-windows-i586, quicktime + quick time for Java.

this is a temporary problem (err, bug).. what happens is that if quicktime is installed before (or without) java, then the variable that describes where quicktime is installed (the "QTJAVA" environment variable if that means anything to you) is wrong.
 
if you're on a win2k or winxp machine, go to control panels -> system -> advanced -> environment variables, and edit the QTJAVA reference to point to the actual location of QTJava.zip on your drive. this will usually be C:\windows\system32\qtjava.zip on xp, but adjust as necessary.  
 
if you're on win98 or winme, modify the entry in autoexec.bat that says something like
set QTJAVA=blahblah\qtjava.zip
to something like
set QTJAVA=c:\windows\system\qtjava.zip
i don't remember the exact syntax, but there should be a line like that in there. it probably is set to something strange, which is causing the trouble.  
 
this is a top priority to fix for the next release.

fry,
 
Your suggestion did not work. To confirm I did the following. I took the system path for QTJAVA and pasted it into a Dos window after a dir command. For example: dir "K:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.1_03\lib\ext\QTJava.zip" this returned:  
 
Volume in drive K is OS
Volume Serial Number is 988B-A07F
 
Directory of K:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.1_03\lib\ext
 
5/27/2003  11:37a   902,726 QTJava.zip
    1 File(s)   902,726 bytes
    0 Dir(s)   2,137,047,040 bytes free
 
any other suggestions?
 
Lawrence

use the new version (rev 62), available from the same location as where you downloaded the last one. see the 'bugs' section for active bugs.
