Do you resolve the problem? If so what was the fix?

I have been getting the Java Virtual Machine Launcher error message “Could not create the virtual machine” when attempting to run an Oracle application that uses JNLP via a browser. Even clicking on componets such as javaw.exe produces the error message. In conjunction with receiving the error message, the application that I am working with will not launch.

I had JRE 5u10 and J2RE 1.4.2u13 installed and thought that installing JDK 5u17 may resolve the issue. I removed JRE 5u10 and J2RE 1.4.2u13 and installed JDK 5u17 (and the included JRE 5u17.) The error message was still there.

I have unistalled (via Add/Remove programs) and reinstalled (via both Win off-line and on-line) JDK 5u17 and JRE 5u17 many times.

During the uninstalls I have received a Java Web Start 1.5.0_17 bad installation – error invoking JVM error message.

I have restarted the machine also.

There are some remains of J2RE 1.4.2u13 still on the machine –even after the 1.4.2u13 uninstall. The Java\j2re1.4.2_13\lib folder remains.

I am running Win XP SP2 and IE6 SP2.

Note: I cannot use Java 6 since the application that I am working with is Java 5 based.

This solution comes from Neowin.net's serhiy, and it worked well for me. He says the configuration file jbuilder.ini has to be edited. He changed the existing configuration, which is:

-configuration
C:\JBuilder2007\configuration_JBuilder
-vmargs
-Xms80M
-Xmx1024M
-XX:MaxPermSize=128M

and he changed it to:

-configuration
C:\JBuilder2007\configuration_JBuilder
-vmargs
-Xms80M
-Xmx768M
-XX:MaxPermSize=128M

If you set the memory limit too high then JBuilder won't work, according to serhiy.
