Minion x86 beta don't work on Windows 8.1 x86
 

Minion x86 beta don't work on Windows 8.1 x86. After instalation writes me "no main class" and "failed to launch JVM". I have installed Java with last update! At home it works fine (windows 8.1 x64).

Hi Wardruna,

What version of Minion did you download and try to install?

When you installed Minion did it ask to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package? Can you confirm its installed and what version by looking under add/remove programs in your control panel?

I install Minion 2.0.9 x86 beta and yes i have Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 installed. The screenshot is below.

Is the path you installed Minion to unicode or the C:\Users\<username>\ folder unicode?

The default install location is C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Local\Minion\

Try navigating to that path and then open the app folder and try to launch the Minion-jfx.jar manually. Would like to see if its a problem with the exe or the java.

C:\Users\ПАТАНАТОМІЯ\AppData\Local\Minion

Alright, I'll try testing unicode on windows8.1x86 tomorrow to see if thats the problem. Maybe x86 handles unicode differently?

and silence

Sorry I did test unicode on win8.1x86 and did not encounter any problems.

Can you try to re-install http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl...s.aspx?id=5555 , when you download and install it you'll be asked if you want to repair it. Do the repair, restart windows, then try out Minion.


If that doesnt work try running the minion java on its own. This would require that you have java7 installed on your system. Go to the Minion application directory C:\Users\ПАТАНАТОМІЯ\AppData\Local\Minion\app\ and right click on the Minion-jfx.jar and choose to open it with java. Does it run? If not please post your minion0.log it should have generated in C:\Users\ПАТАНАТОМІЯ\.minion\

Thanks, but I solved the problem by other ways. I install the program to other folder without Unicode. And now all is OK.

Good to know. Thanks for letting me know.

Maybe its an issue with non-english versions of windows? I made a user named ПАТАНАТОМІЯ on my win8.1x86 VM but its a English version of windows. I'll check into this further.
