Solution for Tizen IDE failing to launch after Java update

Hello,

 

Recently few developers faced a problem of Tizen IDE failing to launch.

The error message read as

Java was started but returned exit code=13

Mostly this behavior was noticed after Java 1.8.0_66 update on Windows7 64-bit machine - The IDE refuses to open.

 

This happens mainly due to:
1. Incompatible sdk and jdk versions
2. Using a 32 bit Java version for your 64 bit Windows System

The solution is to install java for a 64-bit machine manually and not rely on update process as it by default installs a 32-bit version.

 

This will solve your problem. Thought it would be a good idea to share this information.

 

Regards,

Alok

I was trying to install Tizen 2.4 SDK 64-bit and it was failing with Java error. The error log was not very helpful.

Now realized that I had Java 32-bit installed and it was not allowing 64-bit Tizen install.

Uninstalled 32-bit Java and installed 64-bit Java. Tizen install went smooth.

Thanks for the information.
