Could not create the Java virtual machine error

[former_SQLA_member1694942]

Towards the end of the installation of Sybase Anywhere Version 12, a Sybase Central error: 'Could not create the Java virtual machine' displays and the installation has to be aborted. What is the cause and fix for this error.

Could you post the version of Sybase Central you are using? Please quote the version number (including the build number) as it appears in the Sybase Central "About" window. The algorithm used to set the upper memory limit changed recently, and the version & build numbers are key to getting a good answer to your question.

In my case the version for Sybase Central is 12.0.1.3324

Tried the /3GB switch in the Boot.ini. Didn't seem to make any difference. Still cannot install V12. Same error.

The next EBF (the current one is build 3356) will have this issue fixed. For now, if you type scjview -batch in a command window, it will create an scjview.bat file. Edit the file and change '-Xmx1000m' to '-Xmx200m'. Run the batch file and it should work fine.
