Could not create virtual machine - Gunther - 2012-06-05 Should you get the message "Could not create Virtual Machine" from Java when trying to launch LRTimelapse there are a couple of things you should try. Please note that normally none of these approaches are necessary this is only troubleshooting if you can't launch LRTimelapse otherwise.
Normally that should get you going. If the problem persist here are some things you could try (in the order I write them down, after each approach try launching)
RE: Could not create virtual machine - Patrick - 2012-06-05 Thank you. The following worked for me. 1.Go to java directory Program Files/Java/jre7/bin. Open the java.exe properties (right-click, properties), go to "Compatibility" and set "Run the program as an administrator". 2.Go to LRTimelapse directory (Program Files/LRTimelapse/) do the same for LRTimelapse.exe. RE: Could not create virtual machine - leandroprz - 2012-06-10 Also, if you have a 64 bit OS, make sure you install both x86 and x64 versions of Java. Thank you. RE: Could not create virtual machine - zeuch - 2012-06-14 Hi ! I am using windows 7 32bits, (4 go of RAM), and i cannot launch LRTimelapse anymore. I have tried everything mentionned in this thread and in the other ones, plus uninstalling the software / reinstalling the latest version (Java too of course), rebooting, etc. It simply doesn't work. If anybody knows what I can do to make it work again, I'd be very glad ! Thank you, z RE: Could not create virtual machine - Gunther - 2012-06-15 Are you on Windows? Have you tried launching via the CMD-File? Please not that you might have to edit the CMD to provide the right path to your Java-Install. As of 1.9 Java 7 is provided as default, so if you have Java 6 installed you might have to change it. RE: Could not create virtual machine - zeuch - 2012-06-15 Hi Gunther, thank you for your reply. Okay, didn't know i had to do this. So my .cmd file is : Quote:rem -------------------------------------------------------------------- my LRtimelapse folder is here : Z:\Program Files\LRTimelapse my Java folder is here : Z:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin What should I modify ? (i tried to replace all the C: with Z: but it doesn't seem to work RE: Could not create virtual machine - zeuch - 2012-06-15 Also i just noticed that the program manages to run when launching the .jar file ! It starts well but seems to freeze quickly (0 memory left in the top right corner). Is it a good way to start the program and how can i increase the memory allocated ? Thanks edit : i checked and there was 12 go of files to manage, so i guess the program couldn't do it. I separated my files into several folders and i can now deflicker RE: Could not create virtual machine - Gunther - 2012-06-15 Normally substituting the C: for Z: in the CMD should work for you. You could even make it easier by putting only these 2 lines in the CMD: Code: cd "Z:\Program Files\LRTimelapse" RE: Could not create virtual machine - zeuch - 2012-06-15 Thank you very much Gunther, it works !
