More Vista Crashes

Uncategorized — Titus Barik on March 29, 2009 at 8:34 pm

When I attempt to delete a file in Windows Vista, after several minutes of disk churning, my screen goes completely blank and then I am greeted with the following error message:

Logon process has failed to create the security options dialog.

The title bar of this dialog box simply says “Failure – Security Options”. That’s awesome.

Update: It looks like the problem has to do with Cygwin and the way that it sets file permissions.

NetBeans jdkhome

If you upgrade your Java SDK, the NetBeans IDE may give you the following error message (Invalid jdkhome specified) at startup:

Cannot find java.exe in specified jdkhome.
Neither C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_10\jre\bin\java.exe 
    nor C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_10\bin\java.exe exists.
Do you want to try to use default version?

This can be corrected by manually editing the netbeans.conf file found under:

%PROGRAMFILES%\NetBeans 6.5\etc

Replace the line netbeans_jdkhome with the correct path information. Alternatively, you can comment out the line entirely with # and NetBeans will use your default JDK, through JAVA_HOME.

When attempting to install Vijeo Designer 4.6, you may receive the following error message:

Please do the following:
   - Close any running programs
   - Empty you temporary folder
   - Check your Internet Connection (Internet-based Setups)
Then try to run the Setup again

This problem can occur if your InstallShield files are out of date. To correct this issue, delete the:

%PROGRAMFILES%\Common files\InstallShield\Professional\RunTime

directory and re-run setup.
