X-1.0rc2: Windows XP: Sikuli IDE does not start --- try this

[Janusz Golebiewski]

******************** possible cause and workaround **************
might be a problem with your localization.

Try this (supposing you have installed Sikuli using the .exe installer)
It switches to the US-english localization

-- Make a copy of the Sikuli-IDE.bat in the Sikuli folder

-- on the line containing %JAVA_EXE% append "-Duser.language=en_US" so it looks like this:
%JAVA_EXE% -Xms64M -Xmx512M -Duser.language=en_US -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Dpython.path="%~d0%~p0sikuli-script.jar/" -jar "%~d0%~p0sikuli-ide.jar" %*

-- Run this modified you-name-it.bat, and you hopefully will see the IDE with the English interface.

-- if it solves your problem, please report a bug with reference to your locale
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version: Sikuli-X-1.0rc2-win32, system Windows XP 32-bit.
After installation the application will not start. In command line I see only
[info] locale: pl_PL
[debug] init user preferences
and application stops

[RaiMan (raimund-hocke)]

try the following from a command line:

java -Dsikuli.console=false -jar "c:\Programs\Sikuli X\sikuli-ide.jar"

If there are any crash messages, they will be visible in the cmd-window.

please report.

In cmd-window shows

I have the exactly same problem. Is there any workaround to run this version of sikuli?
