hi -

I had a similar problem which your jvm.ini file seems to have fixed, thankyou!

I was running Scriptographer 2.0.025 for Illustrator CS2 on an XP SP2 computer quite happily (not using it much though - I wish I had more time to play!); when I updated Java to Java 6 update 18, when I ran Illustrator it started to give me error messages - "Unable to create Java VM" and then "Unable to create Scriptographer Engine" - and Scriptographer was no longer available.

updating to the latest version of Scriptographer didn't fix the problem, and neither did updating to Java 6 update 19 (and making sure I had a 32-bit version - I have to say java.com isn't much help on this).

your .ini file seems to have sorted everything out nicely. thanks again and best wishes,

Andi

Hi,
First of all: Thanks a lot for the support.

I've been experiencing the same problem.
After I tried your jvm.ini trick, now I have the Scriptographer tool button back in the toolbar, but the main scriptographer window is still missing. Under the window menu in illustrator I still don't have a scriptographer option.
Here's what it says in the native.log file after the jvm.ini file:

Starting Scriptographer with plugin path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS4\Plug-ins\Scriptographer\

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Great, that sounds like progress. What does the console.log show? Or any of the other log files?

Console.log file is totally empty, but here's what's written in the java.log file:

Interesting. That's a very strange one. Could you give me more information about Windows and Java version? When you install / update Scriptographer, do you copy over the full folder into the plugins folder, or just the plugin file?

This is what I do:
I normally backup my scripts some place else, delete the whole [old] Scriptographer folder and put the new Scriptographer folder in. I try the new version, if it works with basic scripts, I put my scripts back in the Scriptographer folder again.

The same problem occurs in both of my computers. Details about Java and Windows are as follows:

PC1: Windows XP Pro SP3 32 bit + Java Version 6 Update 20
PC2: Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 32 bit + Java Version 6 Update 20

Could you try and replace the file scriptographer.jar inside the Scriptographer/Core/Java/lib with the one attached here? It should theoretically solve this, although I am not sure why the error happens on your Systems on the first place. It might also be that this fix just unveils another problem, so please make sure to check the log files again in case this does not fix it all.

Thanks again. Using this file Scriptographer is now working on my CS4+Vista system. Although I'm experiencing some random looking crashes, it works. But still no luck on XP. I'm away for a few days, as soon as I get back I'll post the log files.

Thanks. And could you also send the crash logs on Vista?

Similar issues to others, but I managed to get scriptographer to start by backtracking to the last release of JRE5. With JRE 6 I've come up dry thus far. I haven't figured out where the previously posted jvm.ini file is supposed to go. I'm stepping a little out of my comfort zone by plopping files I don't clearly understand into Java folders whose purpose is foreign, so any tips on where to put it, or if I'm supposed to copy the contained text into another file in Java?

Running XP32.

Thanks.
