|
|
(I initially posted this on the "Beginners" forum without result and thought it might be more appropriate here.)
On trying to run either Rmir or Remote Master, I get a error box titled "Java Virtual Machine Launcher" that states "Could not find the main class. Program will exit."
I'm assuming that I did something wrong while installing, but don't know what or how to fix it!
How do I uninstall and start over? (Or is there some way to fix what's there?)
Running on an old Dell Dimension L800r running Win98 SE.
Any and all help appreciated!! _________________ Harvey in Victoria TX. MythTV forever! |

I didn't answer because I don't know that much about Java, but this was addressed in these two threads. Here are some things to try while we wait for the java guru (Greg) to see this.

I gather you installed the Java .zip, not the Windows .exe. What version?
I assume you double-clicked Setup.vbs to create the shortcuts for RMIR and Remote Master. Double clicking those shortcuts is generating those error messages?
Right-click on those shortcuts and copy'n'paste the contents of the "Target" and "Start in" fields. I hope those are the right names, haven't look at Win98 SE in a long time.
Also please provide the fully qualified path of the installation folder. _________________ -- Greg

<I gather you installed the Java .zip, not the Windows .exe. What version?>
Correct, I installed "RemoteMaster.v2.00.zip"
<I assume you double-clicked Setup.vbs to create the shortcuts for RMIR and Remote Master. Double clicking those shortcuts is generating those error messages?>
Again, correct. Setup created a new group in the start menu "Remote Master" and created the icons.
<Right-click on those shortcuts and copy'n'paste the contents of the "Target" and "Start in" fields. I hope those are the right names, haven't look at Win98 SE in a long time.>
Target:
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0\bin\javaw.exe" -jar RemoteMaster.jar -rm
Start In:
C:\JP1-Remote\RemoteMaster.v2.00
<Also please provide the fully qualified path of the installation folder.>
I created a new folder "C:\JP1-Remote" with all the zips (Remote Master, Maps and RDF's), then unzipped everything from there creating folders for each.
The folder with RemoteMaster.jar is:
C:\JP1-Remote\RemoteMaster.v2.00
Maps are in:
C:\JP1-Remote\Maps and Images for RM Version 1.31
and RDF's are in:
C:\JP1-Remote\RDFs required for RM-IR and IR - Version 1.32
(Yeah, I know it's ugly and long, but it was the quickest/easiest way.)
Thanks much for your time! _________________ Harvey in Victoria TX. MythTV forever! |

OOPS! What you just said is that I can't run it on this machine.
According to the Java site, the last version supported on Win98 is version 5.
I saw reference to a ".exe" version of RM; do you know off hand if that is "98 friendly" or am I just out of luck with this machine? _________________ Harvey in Victoria TX. MythTV forever! |
