Failing to install Spark 2.6.3

Spark Spark Support
1

Sorry if this is already answered, I couldn’t find anything enough like it in the forum . . .

I have a fresh install of Windows 7, and Java SDK 6 update 26 (64-bit).

When attempting to install Spark 2.6.3 (and even 2.6.2) the installer complains that it can’t find a JRE.

I am using spark_2_6_3_online.exe dl from http://www.igniterealtime.org/downloads/index.jsp

Any java.exe that I point it to results in the same error:

The JVM found at is damaged.

Please reinstall or define EXE4J_JAVA_HOME to point to an installed JDK or JRE.

Log:

When I look at the logs (a few are attached), it seems to be checking for dlls in a variety of (unreasonably) specific locations, finding some, but not others (some of which do exist in those locations).

I tried defining EXE4J_JAVA_HOME to a few locations, but I guess it couldn’t help, since it thinks all my JREs are broken.

Any ideas/fixes would be greatly appreciated!

I really like Spark much better than all the other xmpp clients I’ve tried, so I’d love for this to be resolved

Thanks in advance,

Very similar problem. http://community.igniterealtime.org/message/214745#214745

Try the full installer. Probably Spark can’t run with the 64-bit java.

Yeah, same issue, thanks

I’d still prefer a fix to this workaround . . . I shouldn’t need to install a 32-bit JRE to supplement the already installed 64-bit one. Maybe I can just check out the src and build it manually, or something . . .

Sorry. Not a developer, can’t say whether it is possible.

I fixed this by uninstalling java from the control panel and reinstalling it fresh, but that was on a 32bit PC.
