When trying to start SAP download manager issue is coming

[Former Member]

Dear Experts

We have installed SAP download basket on windows 7 32 bit machine, Also we have installed java latest version.

While starting the download basket we are facing the " Windows error 2 occurred while loading the java VM"

Java version installed :- jre-8u20-windows-i586

You can run the Java file directly here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP Download Manager\DLManager.jar

But if you want to fix it permanently you have to edit the file: C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP Download Manager\SAP Download Manager.lax

Open it with a text editor and change:

lax.nl.current.vm=C:\\ProgramData\\Oracle\\Java\\javapath\\java.exe

You have to change it to something like:

lax.nl.current.vm=C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Java\\jre1.8.0_45\\bin\\java.exe

Where the exact folder depends on your version.  I happen to have this version of java.  If you remove the double backslash and paste it into a file explorer you will see if the java.exe file is actually there.  Once you find the java.exe program and path you have to add the double backslashes back for the .lax file before you save it.

Once I saved this it worked fine using the .exe launcher.

Thanks Mike,  I had the issue today,  I have used the download manager in the past and it worked.  It appears that as java provides updates it affects the way the Download manager behaves.  Changed to my current version 8.0_91 and it worked.  Thanks again.
