Problem Title:
V1.5, V1.4 COREGEN: Cannot start up COREGEN from Desktop and Start Menu shortcut on some
PC's
Problem Description:
Urgency: hot
General Description:
Coregen just appears to hang when invoked from either the
Windows Desktop or Start Menu shortcuts on some Windows 95 PCs.
If the Task Manager is checked, both xstart and xspawn appear
to be running.
This problem has only been seen in a few isolated cases.
Solution 1:
In some cases the %1 at the end of the lJRE command line in $
COREGEN/bin/win/coregen.bat causes a problem with startup.
The %1 argument is mainly for batch mode support and can be removed
without any adverse effects.
Solution 2:
In one customer case installing Windows NT Service Pack 4 fixed
this problem.
Solution 3:
Alternatively, you may modify the Windows Shortcut as follows:
Do a right mouse click on the Windows Shortcut Properties,
click on the "Properties" tab. Edit the "Target"field and
remove the call to the "xstart.exe" executable
($COREGEN\coregen\bin\win\xstart.exe .\cgstart.log).
After making this change, you should only have the following
in the Target field:
path_to_coregen_dir\bin\win\coregen.bat
The side effect of starting COREGEN in this manner is that you
will get an extra DOS box appearing whenever you invoke
COREGEN, and not all error messages will be logged to the
coregen.log file.
Solution 4:
As a workaround, you may invoke COREGEN directly from a DOS
box by specifying the explicit path to the coregen.bat batch
file:
path_to_coregen_dir\coregen\bin\win\coregen
