Win 7 64bit : Failed to create the java virtual machine ?

[BeauWebber]

Hi I am installing on a Windows 7 64 bit machine.
Install seems to go OK, but when I try running the Eclipse IDE, I get a pop-up :
"Failed to create the java virtual machine."

I have the latest 32bit Java installed and tested working.
Does anyone have any ideas ?
cheers,
Beau

This happens to me when I have Microsoft Outlook running. After I close Outlook, I can start the XDE.

Hi. Just had the same (repeated) issue on XP32 after installing xTIMEcomposer 12.2.0 a few mins ago. Saw this on earlier releases of the software as well.

Here is the solution:

The XMOS specific procedure for this fix is to:

File Manager -> Program Files -> XMOS -> xTIMEcomposer -> 12.2.0 -> xtimecomposer_bin folder -> edit the text file named xtimecomposer (configuration settings).

This file offers a line that reads:

-XX:MaxPermSize=256m

change to read as:

-XX:MaxPermSize

Save this file. Run normally to test. Hope this helps someone :)

Kumar, Glad I found your post. I was having the same issue on Win7 64 bit xTIMEcomposer 12.2.0. Changing the xtimecomposer.ini as you suggested fixed the problem.

Thanks,
Eric

Hi,

Thanks Kumar for the tip. I can confirm it also works for XDE 11.11.1. The file you need to modify is xde.ini in xde_bin folder.

Cheers
