SQL Developer will not start - could not install some modules

RandomlyKnighted Jan 17, 2014 4:29 AM

I just installed the Java JDK 7u51 as well as the JRE 7u51. Following that I extracted SQL Developer to a fresh directory. When I open SQL Developer I get the following error message:

Warning - could not install some modules:

JDeveloper/NetBeans Bridge - The module named oracle.ide was needed and not found.

Extensions Cache - The module named oracle.javaxide was needed and not found.

Extensions Cache - The module named oracle.ide was needed and not found.

Actions Bridge - The module named oracle.javatools was needed and not found.

Actions Bridge - The module named oracle.ide was needed and not found.

Any idea why I'm getting this message? I installed it on my laptop with no problem.

There might be some issues with u51, can you try u45 instead?

Alright, I just uninstalled u51 and installed u45 and I still get the same error message.

Ok, let's start from the beginning.

What OS are you on?

What is the directory structure under you SQLDeveloper directory?

Is should be something like tthe list below.   If it isn't something has gone wrong with your extraction.

Directory of D:\progs\sqldeveloper-4.0.0.13.80-no-jre

Yeah, I was gonna suggest trying to put down the files from the ZIP again - to a fresh/empty directory of course.

based on your directory listing I'm missing the following files/folders

Configuration
readme.html
sqlci
sqlci.bat

Other than that everything appears to be there.

I downloaded the zip file again and extracted it to the folder. Everything works perfectly now. Thanks for the help.
