This is my first attempt to try anything using Java and I'm frustrated just starting… How can one app be both 32 and 64 bit at the same time? I only saw one version of the app in the zip file. Is this some sort of a 32/64 bit mix up? The STS zip file was named indicating a 32 bit version, although at work on my laptop I somewhere found a version that had both 32 and 64 in the name of the zip.

I also tried downloading the 32 bit JDK because I saw something about maybe needing that. I'm sure I didn't try all permutations, but I am obviously gasping at straws. C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe I tried switching the active version of java (the one checked inh the control panel) to the 1.65 version and I changed all of the above paths to point to reference it. When I noticed the following line in one of the error messages above: Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6 I also tried adding the following to my PATH variable When I opened up the Java Control panel, I saw that the active version, 1.7 pointed to this path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe Tried adding an Env variable: JAVA_HOME = C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ launcher D:\Setup\spring36\sts-bundle\sts-3.6.3.RELEASE\STS.exe Java was started but returned exit code=13 I tried adding the following 2 lines to the top of the STS.ini: -vmĪnd got this error:. Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 24.71-b01, mixed mode, sharing) Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_71-b14)

I have following version of (32 bit) java C:\Users\Chad>java.exe -version

Was found after searching the following locations:ĭ:\Setup\spring36\sts-bundle\sts-3.6.3.RELEASE\jre\bin\javaw.exe Unzipped it, launched sts.exe and got this error: -Ī Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK)

I downloaded Spring Toolset 3.6 from here:
