Windows error 2 occured while loading the Java VM

Question

I ve been trying to install this ARToolkit from Qualcomm   https   ar qualcomm at qdevnet    Windows   exe  version  on a Windows 7 64bits platform  and I keep getting the error      Windows error 2 occured while loading the Java VM     The program trying to install this program is InstallAnywhere  but I can t seem to find any documentation about this error  The dialogue box name when the crash happens is  LaunchAnywhere  I was just wondering if anyone had seen this kind of error before and if so  how to solve it   The very few answers I can find online relate to Win98 ME issues thus making them irrelevant   I m currently using JDK 1 7 0 04 and jre 1 7 if this is somehow relevant

I had same mistake  it was produced because i had disabled the creation of   jvm  in the InstallAnywhere  project - JVM settings - Installer Settings - Bundled Downloaded Virtual Machine   then into file  Uninstall  PRODUCT NAME  lax  into uninstall folder  the variable  lax nl current vm  is empty   If you don t need jvm is disabled check  Install Bundled   Downloaded Virtual Machine  option in the checkbox  project - JVM settings - Installer Settings - Bundled Downloaded Virtual Machine    If you need jvm is disabled because you create it manually  then you can do the following  create an action  Modify Text File  to append variable with the value of the  jvm folder    Existing File   USER INSTALL DIR  Uninstall  PRODUCT NAME   Uninstall  PRODUCT NAME  lax   Append   lax nl current vm     jvm bin java exe

Windows error 2  has dozens of meanings  52 that I could find     The most common one is ERROR FILE NOT FOUND  which can be found in winerror h  Without more context  that s the best I can guess  Did you check the event logs to see if there s more information there

We could not uninstall a program  stuck with the  Windows error 2 cannot load Java VM   Added the Java path to the PATH variable  uninstalled and re-installed Java 8  the problem would not go away    Then I found this solution online and it worked for us on the first shot  - Uninstall Java 8 - Install Java 6   Whatever the reason  with Java 6  the error went away  we uninstalled the program  and re-installed Java 8
