[1.1.0] Win 7 64: Java 8: Could not load JIntellitype.dll

[vc15lin]

My system is Win7 64bit
After I finished installing sikulixsetup-1.1.0.jar.
I run runsikulix.cmd.
I will get following log

+++ running this Java

Just checked on my Win 7 64 with Java 8 both 32-Bit and 64-Bit.

Did not have any problems.

the message
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

shows, that you are using some modified runsikulix.cmd, since this is not produced with the standard setup.

So take care, that there are no pointers/references to older Sikuli(X) versions in your environment at the time, the java command inside runsikulix.cmd is processed.

[vc15lin (jianchao-lin)]

JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 which was i set in Environment Variable.
Now I delete it ,but I also get same log like following.

[info] HotkeyManager: add Capture Hotkey: CTRL+SHIFT 2 (50, 3)
[error] WindowsHotkeyManager: JIntellitype problem: Could not load JIntellitype.
dll from local file system or from inside JAR

Before use 1.1.0, I use Sikuli X r930 and integrated with robotframework.
So I set a lot of Environment Variable like following

CLASSPATH
C:\Vincent\Sikuli_Robot\sikuli-script.jar;C:\jython2.5.3\jython.jar
Path
C:\Program Files (x86)\Sikuli X\libs;C:\jython2.5.3;C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts;
SIKULI_HOME
C:\Program Files (x86)\Sikuli X\

Is above mentioned will affect the installation?

[RaiMan (raimund-hocke)]

Yes, that is what I mean:
purge everything from the environment, that points to older Sikuli(X) versions.

Not needed with 1.1.0

BTW: you should upgrade your environment to Jython 2.7 (bundled with SikuliX 1.1.0) and use the latest RobotFramework.

What you only for use with RobotFramework need is on classpath: with version 1.1.0 it is sikulixapi.jar

As clearly mentioned: Be sure you have read the information on http://sikulix.com

The experimental support for RFW (tab support) might be interesting as well.

I had the same problem on a pc Windows7. Installing the final 1.1 It was not starting with the error WindowsHotkeyManager: JIntellitype problem.

Reading the solution posted by RaiMan I was able to solve just removing the environment variables created from the old Sikuli X r930.

SikuliX 1.1.0 accidentally (I guess after some disk cleanup and restart) has stopped working on Win7. I reinstalled Java and SikuliX but SikuliX hasn't returned to its normal behavior. Here is SikulixLog:

Hope, you can help me,

The problem above was solved when I open sikulix.jar specifically through "open with>Java", however Java is recognized as the default program for all jar files. Weird .

[RaiMan (raimund-hocke)]

thanks for the feedback.

I will try to make all this more robust with version 2.

[Christian (claymore666)]

Hi RaiMan,

had a similar issue (after setup, without changing initial runsikulix.cmd) with

[error] WindowsHotkeyManager: JIntellitype problem: Could not load JIntellitype.
dll from local file system or from inside JAR

which I could easily solve via manually inserting CLASSPATH line into the startup script, pointing to my installation directory:

set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk8
set CLASSPATH=C:\Work\SikuliX

I also added the JAVA_HOME because I have both JRE 1.6 and JDK 1.8 installed (company pc) and the script determined JRE1.6 as default, which is outdated and causes followup errors.
Cheers,

Chris
