Failed to start Battery Management Studio

Philippe Hamelin

Hello,

Battery Management Studio v1.45 was running fine on my Windows 7 x64 computer. Today, I tried to start the application and nothing happens: no message, no output, no window. I uninstalled the software and tried reinstalling both 1.45 and 1.47. Any idea how to debug that? If it may helps, since I used the software for the last time I installed Microchip MPLab X, which I think runs NetBeans under the hood. Maybe there's a compatibility problem with Java versions?

Thank you,

Philippe

If it may helps: I modified my path to use Java 7 instead of Java 8. Now, I have the splash screen but then it crashes with no message.

Okay now I can confirm that the problem is related to the java version. The Java version that I had in my path was 8. However, Battery Management Studio seems to require Java 7. So, I changed the java symlinks for version 7 as explained here:

Now everything works are before.

Is it a known issue that Battery Management Studio doesn't work with Java 8?
