Wowza IDE 2 doesn't launch (JVM terminated error)!

[arjun333]

I have installed Java and then installed the Wowza server from the standalone installer downloaded from http://www.wowza.com/media-server/developers#wowza-ide. I get the following error when I try to launch wowza IDE 2: (I have a Windows 7 64 bit OS)

JVM terminated. Exit Code=-1
-Djava.class.path=....\Wowza IDE 2\plugins\org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.201.R35 x_v20090715.jar
-os win32
-ws win32

PS If you need more details about what was displayed I could post the screenshot if you give me your mail id.

Try using a recent version of 64bit Eclipse and use the Wowza IDE software update to add Wowza features. It is the #2 option here:

Or, you can install the 32 bit version of the JRE. That worked for me.

jay_charles: That's what I tried and it did work (though I realized it late).
Thanks a lot for the replies

Now I cannot create the media server project. I get the following message when I open New->MediaServerProject and hence Next button is not enabled.

Wowza Media Server location is invalid.
Cannot find file lib/wms-bootstrap.jar.

Does this error mean windows media server isn't installed?

PS location text field is left blank and I can't locate wms-bootstrap.jar on my machine

Make sure Wowza is installed locally, on same machine as the IDE. It is easiest to install Wowza first then install the IDE.
