yajHFC will not launch using Java5 #55

Original report by Anonymous.

yajHFC version 0.6.1 with Java 5.0.22 Windows Server 2012R2 (64bit)

-Issue- running yajhfc.exe produces error "Cannot create java virtual machine" Print to yajHCF FAX printer produces no GUI and Printspool remains busy.

-notes- Launching yajhfc.jar by Double-click shows GUI just fine, all work normally, but print driver still non-functional. (Looks like the yajhfc.exe launcher is the issue...)

?Why run such an out-dated Java? I have a mission-critical App that only runs under Java5, so I cannot run yajHFC :(

I hope this info helps find a solution.

Thanks, David.

Original comment by Jonas Wolz (Bitbucket: jonaswolz, GitHub: jwolz).

You could try to modify the redirected port of the automatically created fax printer like the described in the following documents: http://files.yajhfc.de/doc/winfaxprinter.shtml http://files.yajhfc.de/doc/yajhfc-launcher.shtml

Basically that circumvents the launcher or replaces it with a VB-Script. (I have not tested this, however, on recent versions of Windows)

Since Java5 is quite "ancient", I won't invest time to make the exe launcher compatible with it...

Because this issue is old and Java5 even older, I will close this issue.
