Not able to run spoon.bat or any other batch file in Pentaho Data Integration (Kettle)

Question

Tried pdi-ce-4.1.0-stable and pdi-ce-4.2.0-stable

My Machine - Windows 7 64 bit

When I run Spoon.bat cmd line window appears and disappears and then nothing happens.

When I tried to run it from command line, I get

DEBUG: Using JAVA_HOME DEBUG: _PENTAHO_JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_22 DEBUG: _PENTAHO_JAVA=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_22\bin\javaw

C:\pentaho\data-integration>start "Spoon" "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_22\bin \javaw" "-Xmx512m" "-XX:MaxPermSize=256m" "-Djava.library.path=libswt\win64" "-D KETTLE_HOME=" "-DKETTLE_REPOSITORY=" "-DKETTLE_USER=" "-DKETTLE_PASSWORD=" "-DKE TTLE_PLUGIN_PACKAGES=" "-DKETTLE_LOG_SIZE_LIMIT=" -jar launcher\launcher.jar -li b ..\libswt\win64

But then again the PDI GUI doesn't open. I have run the same on another 32 bit machine and it runs perfectly.

Solution 1

Their are few things which are not supportable by jdk which are 1.6 or lower then that, try to download jsk 1.7 and configure it may be your problem will solved, because i faced few errors in the past which are because of lower version of jdk.

I know it is an old commend, but maybe this can help someone. you just need to replace all "JAVAW" to "JAVA", inside the .bat file. It worked for me. tks.
