sts 2.8.1, 2.9.1, or 3.0.0.M1-e4.2 will not install

[mangelo]

I've tried the .exe installations for Windows 32-bit, I attempt to launch the .exe and nothing happens. I am running Eclipse Indigo for other Java projects, but wanted to install STS to work on other projects.

I had 2.8.1 installed months ago and it ran until today. I thought I would re-download and try another installation and now none of the installations will launch.

I've also tried the .zip file installations and the eclipse.exe after unzipping will not run.

I am on a Windows 7 32-bit env.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Well, I solved my own problem. Yes, there was an old JRE in my path.

Oh, the pain!

Ok, I take it back. The installation .exe files still do not run. When I unzip the .zip type installs then the sts.exe will run.

I still have the issue with the .exe type installs.

Hey!

Good to hear that at least the ZIP files are usable for you at the moment, so you are not blocked from getting STS to work. Regarding the installer: What exactly is the error message that the installer gives back? And what are your settings for JAVA_HOME?

I do not receive an error message. The mouse cursor turns to an hour glass for maybe 10 seconds and then nothing. JAVA_HOME is set, but I just noticed that its pointing to a JVM within "Program Files" with the dreaded space. I'm going to try pointing to another JVM and see what happens.

I'll post my findings.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Well, I can't say for sure what fixed it. jdk1.6.0_32 (I had _22) or installing to another directory without a space.

I'm good now!

Thanks.
