Java's installed, but getting “Could not create the Java virtual machine”

Question

...on WindowsXP and Windows7 machine and keep getting an error: "Could not create the Java virtual machine"

both machines have the latest version of Java installed.

Anyone clues why?

That means that the Java executable started up, but crashed before it could initialize the runtime. Does it say anything else?

When i want to run it, I also get that error best solution is to recompile it with the source code (witch is included in the SuperShape2D folder).

You can download a working version from here:Recompiled SuperShape2D (I just recompiled it)

	Thanks @user1103589, another dumb question. How do you ultimately create a Windows.exe file, than to install? Or how can you install .jar file? – Ryan Schultz Jan 29 at 19:32
	How do you mean install the .jar file ? If you mean really installing, and you want .exe's .app's and such. Have a look at Launch4J(link end of post). This is wrapper that create's an installer for your .jar file. Also, it can make your .jar into a .exe . Hope this helps, Arno launch4j.sourceforge.net – Arno Jan 29 at 19:40
	Also, a .jar does not need any installation, you just need to install the JVM and then (normally) it would automaticly recongnize a .jar and you just need to double click it to run it. – Arno Jan 29 at 19:42
