Yawcam won't start on Windows XP

Post by Mr Wolf »

Hi!
I have an old Windows XP notebook and I've just upgraded to Yawcam 0.4.2 (I have Java 32 bit 8 Update 51): when clicking on the icon or on the executable Yawcam_x86.exe, Yawcam simply won't start, nothing happens at all.
Just wanted to know if it's a known problem.
Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I run debug_start.bat and got:

C:\Programmi\Yawcam>Regedit /e /a C:\DOCUME~1\MRWOLF~1\IMPOST~1\Temp\ddesktopreg.txt "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders"

C:\Programmi\Yawcam>find /i C:\DOCUME~1\MRWOLF~1\IMPOST~1\Temp\ddesktopreg.txt "Desktop" 1>C:\DOCUME~1\MRWOLF~1\IMPOST~1\Temp\desktopreg.txt

C:\Programmi\Yawcam>For /F "tokens=2 delims==" %a in (C:\DOCUME~1\MRWOLF~1\IMPOST~1\Temp\desktopreg.txt) do set desktopfolder=%a

C:\Programmi\Yawcam>set desktopfolder="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Mr Wolf\\Desktop"

C:\Programmi\Yawcam>DEL C:\DOCUME~1\MRWOLF~1\IMPOST~1\Temp\ddesktopreg.txt

C:\Programmi\Yawcam>DEL C:\DOCUME~1\MRWOLF~1\IMPOST~1\Temp\desktopreg.txt

C:\Programmi\Yawcam>java.exe -cp .;lib/activation.jar;lib/commons-jxpath-1.1.jar;lib/commons-logging.jar;lib/commons-logging-api.jar;lib/dsj.jar;lib/jmf.jar;lib/mail.jar;lib/mx4j-impl.jar;lib/mx4j-jmx.jar;lib/mx4j-remote.jar;lib/mx4j-tools.jar;lib/sbbi-jmx-1.0.jar;lib/sbbi-upnplib-1.0.4.jar;lib/ftp4j.jar;lib/commons-codec-1.4.jar -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -splash:img/splash.gif yawcam.Main 1>"C:\\Documents and Settings\\Mr Wolf\\Desktop"\yawcam_debug_log.txt 2>&1


In the yawcam_debug_log.txt file, it says that:
"java.exe"is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Read the following thread:

http://www.yawcam.com/forum/viewtopic.p ... 528#p12472

BTW, this also works for the current latest Java build 1.8.0_60-b27. FYI.
