I've just installed the XMOS development tools for Windows. The installation appeared to be smooth enough however trying to launch "XMOS Development Environment" I get the following error message:
Doing a bit of digging it seems that that "XMOS Development Environment" runs xdeicon.bat, the contents of which I've pasted below:Incorrect java version. Requires 1.5 or greater.
I definitely have the latest version of JRE, so I ran "java -version" from the command line and get the following output:@echo off
cd ..
call SetEnv.bat
java -version > %TMP%\java_version.txt 2>&1
set /p version=< %TMP%\java_version.txt
del %TMP%\java_version.txt
set version=%version:~14,3%
if /i "%version%" LSS "1.5" (msg * "Incorrect java version. Requires 1.5 or greater.") else (start xde.exe)
As the .bat seems to do nothing but check for a correct JRE before launching xde.exe I tried launching that manually that *seems* to be perfectly fine (though having never used XDE before I obviously cannot be 100% sure).java version "1.6.0_23"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_23-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode, sharing)
A simple solution is just to redirect the shortcut to run xde.exe directly, however I am curious as to why I get the error message and what it is that should fix this behaviour?
Thank you,
Dan.
