Installation on Windows 7

Posted by jacob.schrum on Thu 10 of Jun, 2010 13:57 CEST
I'm having trouble installing Pogamut 3 on a 64bit Windows 7 System.
The error happens before the point where I can specify the location of
NetBeans or Unreal. After I click the next button on the section that lists all of
the components I'm going to install, the terminal fills with Java
exceptions and the GUI part goes blank, like in this image:

Any ideas?

Fixed. Turns out the problem wasn't Windows 7 so much as the fact that it was a 64-bit OS. For other people having this problem, then trick is to use the (x86) version of the PowerShell to launch the installer, since this makes everything function in 32-bit. It seems that IzPack doesn't come with a 64-bit version of one of its libraries.

Hi,

Is there a working solution to this bug? I tried to install Pogamut 3.1 today, on a PC running 64-bit Windows 7, but after selecting the components the installer window goes blank apart from the navigation buttons.

I tried using the PowerShell workaround mentioned above, but it resulted in the same bug.

For the time being I have installed Pogamut2 instead, but with it being discontinued it is not an ideal solution. Is there anything else I could do to get the installer to work?

Are you running Java 32bit or 64bit?

We have problem with 64bit Java... 32bit should be okey (I have installed Pogamut myself on Win 7 64 bit but with 32bit Java).

Cheers!

As Jakub said. You have probably 64Bit Java installed, right? Use 32Bit version instead and it should work ok. (I had the same issue with Win7 and 64Bit java).

best,

Thank you, I got it to install eventually using the tip about 32-bit Java - although my Java install was the x86 architecture version according to the version checker, it seems I had at least 2 different versions of the JRE on my system - one of which worked with the installer.

Thanks for your help :-)
