Aptana fail at starting up in Window Vista

|UncategorizedNo Comments

I am the one that try to develop Rails in Window, especially Vista, the most complained version in history.

Aptana is the best IDE I found at the moment. It’s free! and Eclipse-based style make me familiar with.

by the way, Aptana always fail in startup after using for few times. This is very annoying problem. I have to re-install but found it isn’t work.

But finally! I found this is because the Aptana’s bundled JRE that incompatible with Window Vista.

So if you found same problem with me, try this instruction. It works for me, so I hope this may help you happy with Aptana.

How to resurrect your Aptana in Window Vista

  1. Browse to your aptana folder (for me, c:/Aptana Studio/ ). Find AptanaStudio.ini. Open and then put your JRE6 folder location at the top of the file like the image below. then save it.

  2. Remove jre folder in your Aptana Studio folder. (for me, c:/Aptana Studio/jre )
  3. Try to start your Aptana again. It should work!
