Vassal 3.1.4 (installed from VASSAL-3.1.4-windows.exe)
Java Version 1.6.0_13 (installed from jre-6u13-windows-i586-p-s.exe)
Vista Business 32-bit SP1
If I run Vassal from the Start Menu shortcut nothing happens and I get no errors. If I run vassal.bat in the install directory I get a dialog “Could not initialize the Java virtual machine. Program will exit!”
Downloaded v3.0 - ran that from the command prompt and it worked, so then I ran the latest version from the prompt and it also works, as does running it from the installed shortcut. I don’t know what’s going on here. Machine has not been rebooted; I’ve been trying both the executable shortcut from Explorer and the batch file from the prompt for several days; even tried removing and re-installing Java and VASSAL on Monday morning before finally posting. All without success. I was pretty much ready to just give it up.
Hopefully it will continue working. Thanks for trying to help.
