Any idea for resolving this. STS version is 32-bit..

My computer specification is as following:

OS: windows 7 64-bit
CPU: Athlon X2 3.0Ghz
Ram: 4GB

Your help is highly appreciated.

Anybody help ?

Hi!

This looks like something went wrong with the installation of STS on your machine. Did you use the installer or the ZIP? I would recommend to try to reinstall a fresh copy to see if the problem goes away with that.

HTH,
Martin

Hi Martin,

Thanks for reply. I am using the installer to install STS. May I know what mean by fresh copy? How do I go through this?

Best rgds,
SC Hor

[Martin Lippert]

Hi!

I would delete your complete "C:/springsource" directory and run the installer again. And please make sure that the destination you are installing STS into is not a read-only directory for your user.

Cheers,
-Martin
