'Windows error 2 occurred while loading the Java VM' on Java 1.8.0_60

Hi

I have problem with installation file on Windows with Java 1.8.0_60. After double click on installation file I receive "Windows error 2 occurred while loading the Java VM" information,
Installer works perfect for each older version Java, than Java 1.8.0_60.

I found two workaround for this case. First is remove 'C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath' path from PATH System Variable. Second is run installation file from command console with parameter LAX_VM (example: installer.exe LAX_VM "C:\Program Files\java\jdk1.8.0_60\bin\java.exe").

None of above workaround satisfied me - I need to have normal work installer through double click (without modifying PATH Variable) with Java 1.8.0_60.

Have you any idea how to solve this problem?

On Linux this problem not occurs with Java 1.8.0_60.

This is a known issue. Go to this link: https://flexeracommunity.force.com/customer/articles/en_US/ISSUE/The-Without-VM-Installer-Fails-To-Launch-Using-Java-8-Update-60-On-Windows

I have a support issue open asking about when they plan to fix it. I'll let you know.

Thanks sturge

I'm waiting for information from you.

Unfortunately there is no timeline to fix it. Your best bet is to implement workaround #3 with a JVM spec file.

As if my magic, I suddenly received the hotfix in the Update Center. Hopefully you did as well.
