Can't load JIntellitype while running SikuliX

Question

I've been suffering with this issue all day long, I've tried looking for solutions throughout the webs, found some people that had the same issue but trying to solve the way they did, but it didn't work for me.

Debug log:

runsikulix.cmd -d 3

• Currently OS: Windows 10 Pro
• Currently Sikulix Version: Nightly Build sikulixsetup-1.1.1-20161210.001637-82

I've tried:

• Different builds (nightly builds, latest release 1.1.0)
• Tried downloading the DLL from https://code.google.com/archive/p/jintellitype/downloads and putting it in:
  • SikuliX Folder
  • Windows System32 folder
  • Inside the JAR file (using winrar)
• Also tried download the DLL available in the GitHub project's page.
• Tried updating my java to the latest version, both Java JDK and JRE. Both 64bit and 32bit.
• Executing only sikulix.jar:
  • Opening as windows default choice)
  • Open-with (open with java)
  • Using java -jar sikulix.jar.

None of those above worked.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The problem is likely that the version of java you're running is not aligned with your SikuliX install.

Make a note of the Java version used when you did your install, you can look in the install log for RunSetup: RunningJava:. Make sure that when you initiate runsikulix.cmd, it has that same version.

I suspect that the install was with a later version and perhaps a 64 bit version, and when you attempt to run SikuliX, it picks up an older verions, perhaps a 32 bit version.

The reason is that the runsikulix.cmd gives weight to the JAVA_HOME environment variable. Since running Java on the command line (as you probably did when you installed) does not use the JAVA_HOME environment variable, You should be able to remove it (although there is the possiblity that other programs do need it). Alternatively, you could alter runsikulix.cmd so that it ignores the environment variable. In other words, you could hard-code your Java location.

To alter environment variables on Windows 10, see this question/answer.
