        Troubleshooting Your JBuilder 2008 Installation

        General

    If the installation can be performed successfully on another machine (with the same OS platform), the resulting installation directory can be copied from one machine to another. This can be the easiest way to workaround installation problems, but is only useful when other machines on a network are available.

        Nothing happens after the installation program is started

    If the main installation program does not automatically launch when the DVD is inserted into the DVD drive:

    1. Navigate to the DVD drive.
    2. Navigate to the root directory.
    3. Double-click on the installation executable (install_windows.exe on Windows, install_mac_osx on the Mac OSX, or install_linux.sh for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0).

        Error -1 when starting the installation program from a DVD

    This error occurs when the DVD driver is having trouble reading from the DVD. In this case, try copying the contents of the DVD into a temporary directory on your hard drive and then launch the installer from that location. If the files cannot be copied from the DVD to the hard drive because of read errors (for example, error -1, read errors, etc.), check the DVD for scratches. If the DVD is visibly damaged, please contact customer support.

    If the contents of the DVD still cannot be copied to the hard drive, an alternative is to simply download and install the appropriate ESD version of JBuilder:

    http://www.codegear.com/downloads

    NOTE: You may need to register.

        The main installation program does not launch when the DVD is inserted

    To eliminate possible conflicts with other third-party software, disable anti-virus software (e.g. stop the service), exit out of any other currently running software, and then retest the installation.

    In Windows XP, you can automatically do this using the msconfig.exe tool to restart your system in a diagnostic mode that prevents third-party services from starting up. To do this:

    1. Choose Start | Run.
    2. Enter msconfig and click OK.
    3. Under the General tab, select Diagnostic Startup and click OK.
    4. Restart your system and start the JBuilder 2008 installation program again.

    After successfully installing JBuilder, repeat these steps, changing Diagnostic Startup to your usual Startup mode.

        The installation programs seems to start, but then freezes at the splash screen

    To troubleshoot installation graphics driver issues, try the following:

    • First, visit the website of the manufacturer of the graphics card to download and install the latest driver.
    • Windows XP: If the issue is not resolved, try turning down the graphics card acceleration. To do this:
      1. Right-click on the desktop.
      2. Choose Properties | Settings | Advanced | Troubleshoot.
      3. Set the Hardware acceleration to None.
      4. Start the JBuilder installation program again.
    • The installation progress bar may stay near the end for a very long time, making it seem like the installation program has hung. Do not end the program; the installation will complete successfully after a period of time.
