Re: AccProbe on Windows 7

Switched the target per your recommendation and it is still not working.  I get the same error about the target being invalid.  Even tried just executing from the command line:

accprobe.exe -vm "c:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe"

And that didn't work.

Next step was to move Java to the root of C:

Same error from windows about the invalid target.

Finally, attempted the command line with the new path to Java:

accprobe.exe -vm "c:\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe"

That also didn't work.

Any other ideas?

Target looks wierd - missing the 'c:' after the -vm switch as well as hte actual name of the executable. Should be:

"C:\Program Files\accprobe\accprobe.exe -vm c:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe"

Also, you might want to try putting your java in a folder with no spaces. The spaces in the arg to -vm is probably confusing the Eclipse startup script.

Thanks Mike. I tried that, but when I click Apply Windows pops up a message saying that the name specified in the target is not valid. Here is what I have for target:

"C:\Program Files\accprobe\accprobe.exe -vm \Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\"

Does that look right?

Try setting up a new shortcut for AcProbe on you rdesktop. Once done, right-click and select Properties. In the target field, add "-vm <PATH_TO_JAVAW_EXECUTABLE>" without the quotes. You do not need Eclipse but keep in mind we never tested AccProbe on anything past Windows XP.

I'm trying to run AccProbe on Windows 7. When I try to run it I get an error indicating that no Java VM can be found in my path. However, I've added the location of the Java VM to my path.

Anyone else have this problem? Does AccProbe require Eclipse be installed? I thought it could be run stand alone.

I simply downloaded AccProbe from http://accessibility.linuxfoundation.org/a11yweb/util/accprobe, unzipped it to the desktop and clicked on the accprobe icon.

Can anyone lend a hand?

Here's info on my environment:
- JRE 1.6
- Path: %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;%SystemRoot%\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\
