The Servoy developer installer didn’t even run with JRE 1.4.2_05. After installing the 1.5 beta I was finally able to install, but now I’m getting this error message when starting up Servoy developer: “Invalid or corrupt jarfile servoy_developer.jar”.
Any ideas?
OS: Win 2000 Server
Most probably your download is corrupt. Please redownload. Also note that using java 1.5 at the moment is not a good idea. Make sure to use 1.4.2_05 SDK that you can download here:
Just to be safe, and because we could, we formated the drive, reinstalled the OS and re-downloaded the Servoy installer to have the exact same result.
We then, just for the sake of it, installed the beta version of Servoy on Java 1.5 beta; well, what do you know? it worked.
Because we won’t be doing nothing mission-critical with this installation we will work with this all-beta arrangement, but we still need to resolve this in order to deploy the final version of our solution.
Starting yesterday, i’ve downloaded the developer jar i guess 3 times. While i’m typing again i’m doing another try.
Maybe it’s an idea to pack the downloadable package in a (self-extracting) zip or rar archive with integrity-check on. The RAR format also got a sort of ‘recover’ option i think.
At least, then you know whether the package has been corrupted while downloading.
Please consider this an option, cause i’m getting crazy over here . . .
A jar file has the same check as a zip file. That’s why it gives you an error.
There appears to be a problem with the latest Java from sun. We are hearing more about troubles with 1.4.2_05 on Windows. If you are using that version can you try the _04 version that you can download here:

Make sure to un-install any other versions first.
