On this download page i downloaded dbvisualizer.zip and unpacked it to a folder.
Starting the dbvis.exe i get this error:
No JVM could be found in your system. Please define EXE4J_JAVA_HOME
to point to an installed 64-bit JDK or JRE
or download a JRE from www.java.com.
what i have tried
This (un-)resolved question how to solve no JVM found points to a faq-entry that is no longer there. But i found How do I change the Java version that DbVisualizer use and the reommendation there is to do this:
- In the DbVisualizer installation directory there is an .install4j directory,
- In this directory create a file named
pref_jre.cfgif it doesn't already exist, - Open the file in a text editor,
- Add the complete path to the root directory for the Java installation you want to use. Example:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre7
Based on the given example path: C:\Program Files\Java\jre7 i have tried
- Option A:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_31\jre - Option B:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_31\jre\bin
Option A without quotes gave:
The JVM found at C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_31\jre is damaged.
Please reinstall or define EXE4J_JAVA_HOME to point to an installed
64-bit JDK or JRE
Option A with quotes and B with or without quotes gave the EXE4J_JAVA_HOME is missing error.
After closing the JVM found is damaged error message another error appeared:
The JVM could not be started. The maximum heap size (-Xmx)
might be too large or an antivirus or firewll tool could
block the execution.
Question
Does anyone know how i can use the dbvis.exe from the zip file (no installation) without changing the path variables of my system?
