InstallAnywhere fails with exception

I have been using InstallAnywhere 2008 Enterprise on the same system for over 6 months, and suddenly today it started throwing an exception. I get a Fatal Application Error saying that the invocation of the Java application has caused an InvocationTargetException. The stack trace is included below.

Any clues to why this suddenly happened and how to fix it would be appreciated.

java.lang.NullPointerException

Unfortunately, errors like this don't usually happen out of the blue... so can you think about anything you might have done to the project?

I recently allowed a Microsoft update to take place, but that is all that I can think of that changed.

The problem is with InstallAnywhere, because I get the error when I launch it from the start menu without specifying any project. I may just have to reinstall it.

I found the solution listed in another thread.
