REW crashes on startup

**06-20-07, 01:10 PM**

I am trying to run REW for the first time and it crashes on starting up. When I launch REW it first shows a small loading bar, then the loading splash screen. If I watch the splash screen bar real fast I see it says something like "adding graph panel" then it dies.

If I look in the installed directory it generates a file like this...

I have tried to troubleshoot it a bit but have had no luck.

I looked the forum over and only found something about "win32com.dll" which this file is in the correct place.

Thanks for any help.

Not sure what to suggest, the crash is in some native code called by the Java Runtime Environment rather than in REW. Could try re-installing the JRE, or uninstall JRE 1.6 and try JRE 1.5 instead to see if it also happens with the previous JRE.

**06-20-07, 04:47 PM**

Ok I installed developer package 1.5 and REW worked. So now need to test if I reinstall 1.6 if it will be ok but this time with the developer package instead of the runtime only one.
