Fisheye won't start on Windows Server with JDK 1.6.0_20
Symptoms
After running a Windows Update on Windows Server 2003/2008 using JDK 1.6.0_20, Fisheye won't start via the Wrapper script with the following error:
STATUS | wrapper | 2010/07/01 19:22:46 | Launching a JVM...
INFO | jvm 4 | 2010/07/01 19:22:46 | Error occurred during initialization of VM
INFO | jvm 4 | 2010/07/01 19:22:46 | Unable to load native library: The specified procedure could not be found
ERROR | wrapper | 2010/07/01 19:22:46 | JVM exited while loading the application.
Cause
There is an incompatibility with Fisheye, the latest version of Windows Server 2003/2008 and JDK 1.6.0_20.
Resolution
As a workaround you will need to install JDK 1.6.0_16. Once the installation is complete you will need to update the wrapper.conf
file to enforce that Fisheye uses the older version of the JDK to start. For example:
...
# Java Application
wrapper.java.command=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16\bin\java
...
