Hi everybody,
I try to install Servoy 4 on a remote server using Windows Remote Desktop. But at one point in the installation wizard, once the files have been copied, I get a blank screen (cf screenshot). The button Next is active but doesn’t work (probably because I didn’t enter anything into the fields). So I click Exit but the installation is not completed and I get problems when I try to run Developer.
Does any got an idea of how installing it properly on a remote server?
I used Rdp several times to install (3.5) without problems (from xp client on w2003 server)
Regards,
I tried already to install it using an XP client but I have the same problem.
The server is running under Windows server 2003 64bits.
Where are you installing? Maybe you don’t have enough privileges to install to the selected dir and the installer gets confused.
I don’t think it’s a problem of privileges as I’m administrator of the server. I have already successfully installed PostgreSQL on the same location (C:/Program Files/)
Maybe it is the Java version on the server ?
I have installed the last JDK (1.6.0_12-b04) before Servoy installation. It is installed in the default folder (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_12)
But I don’t think Java has something to do with this problem
However, when I try to run developer, I get this error message:
which is relating to some Java configurations
I can remember that there was an issue with the installer, not running on Java 64 bit. (read it somewhere, not sure…)
maybe you could switch (just for the installation) back to java 32 bit…
Hope that helps.

How can I switch? Do I have to uninstall Java and reinstall the 32bit one, and then try to run it again?
I think you can just install the 32 bit next to the 64 bit version.
in the java console panel you can set which one is the default.
(like on normal 32 bit version)
It woooorks!!!
Indeed it was because of Java 64bit. Running the setup.jar with Java 32bit worked perfectly!
Many thanks Harjo
Btw I have another question.
Does it mean that Servoy is not running in 64bit but 32bit?
No, it’s just the installer.
After the installation is done set Java64 to the default JVM and Servoy Server will use that (not Eclipse tough).

Ok. I’ve tried to switch Java64 again to default JVM but since I’ve installed the 32bit version, for some reason, I don’t have the Java Icon in the Control Panel anymore.
Not sure why your icon disappeared, but you can also start the Java control panel from the commandline using: ```
javaws -viewer

I’m not sure if there are the only place where you can change the default Java, but in the tab “Java”, both Java Applet… and Java runtime… are already configured to “C:/Program files/Java/…” which corresponds to the 64bit Java
However, I’ve not yet changed my JAVA_HOME environment variable which is “C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin”. Should I change it ?
In the Servoy administration page I get these information:
JDK Information
java.vm.name=Java HotSpot™ Client VM
java.vm.version=11.2-b01
java.vm.info=mixed mode, sharing
java.vm.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
if you just type java.exe -version on the command line?
the you just get the 32bit variant?
then you can try to set the path to the 64 bit version , prepend it to the path. Or overwrite the existing java.exe/javaw.exe that are on the path (most likely in windows\system32 or something)
In fact I have simply uninstalled Java and reinstalled the 64bit.

Here is the result of the java.exe -version:
java version “1.6.0_12”
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_12-b04)
Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.2-b01, mixed mode)
And Servoy is still working fine
