Can't create Java VM

[dlnw]

I am trying to run Alice 2.0 on Windows XP. I get this error message when I try to run it: Can't create Java VM. Anything I can do to remedy this?

Thanks.

I don't have this problem on my box, and I normally don't use Java, but maybe my input may help, at least a little. Have you tried searching online for a downloadable Java applet or program?

I was able to run the program by running a file called IfAliceFailsTryThis.exe. This will do until I find the source of my problem.

Thanks.

dlnw,

I'm going to see if I can find out why this might be happening. I'm not sure if this error points to a specific cause or whether it could be one of 1000 different things. Does your computer meet the minimum specs? Are you running anything uncommon, like Vista or an x64 OS? Any info at all would be helpful.

I had the same problem, and the problem is that you extract wrongly from the zip file. You have to select all the files, and then click on button "Extract", then you have to select a folder where you want to extract Alice, and that's all. This action will create the correct folders and subfolders which are necessary to run the program. I hope this is helpful :)
