Hello! I need some help! My English not too good and I’m sorry for this.
I have installed jME3_SDK_Alpha-4 for windows from this place: http://code.google.com/p/jmonkeyengine/downloads/list. But I can’t launch it… I try to execute jmonkeyplatform-bin-jmonkeyplatform.exe, but nothing happend!
My antivirus software was turned off while installation process. I have jdk 6 and netbeans 7.0 on my computer; it all works. I have jME3_2011-07-24 nightly build. It correctly works with netbean. My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate (win32).
I’ve never used jMonkeyPlatform, but I want to start use it. Please help me!
Without any error output theres not much we can do to help I am afraid. Either start from command line to see the error output or check the log file under AppData/Roaming/.jmonkeyplatform/dev/var/log
I try to start program from command line.
I got message: “Your user directory C:/Program Files/jmonkeyplatform cannot reside inside your NetBeans installation directory C:/Program Files/jmonkeyplatform.” And there are no .jmonkeyplatform directory in AppData/Roaming…
NetBeans installed in D:/Programs/NetBeans
Problem solved. My user name in windows was in my own language. I create new user with English name. Thanks 
Oh, thanks for the feedback, this might actually be very interesting for other people too. So you say your name has special characters and that probably confused the installer / application?
I certainly did think it. But now I think that my language isn’t the problem. My own language is Russian. I’ve created another one user with Russian letters, but it work: jME successful started.
I try to describe steps:
- I have installed jMonkeyPlatform on my main windows account. User name is on Russian language - Андрей. It is installed, but when I try to execute jmonkeyplatform/bin/jmonkeyplatform.exe nothing happend. And there are no folder C:/Users/Андрей/.jmonkeyplatform and folder C:/Users/Андрей/AppData/Roaming/.jmonkeyplatform. If I start application from command line there is message: “Your user directory C:/Program Files/jmonkeyplatform cannot reside inside your NetBeans installation directory C:/Program Files/jmonkeyplatform.”.
- jMonkeyPlatform is already installed. I create new user. Language is not important. Try to launch platform on this account and it is launched. Check folders - there are exists.
It is don’t work only on my main windows account. Why? - I don’t know, yet.

That is indeed strange, I’d rather expect it to have problems on secondary (non-admin) user accounts… Well, Windows has messed up user rights ever since they were introduced in NT so I guess it has to do with user rights somehow… Your feedback is much appreciated.
All users have admin rights. I think something wrong in my system and not in your software. Thank you for your help! I will inform you if I completely solve this problem.

Its very strange that somehow the user directory would end up in program files. Perhaps you messed up your environment variables?
I have no problems with another programs. And I typed “set homepath” in command line to see current value.“HOMEPATH=/Users/Андрей” And other variables seems to be right.
What else can I do to solve this problem? What should I do to find the reason of the problem?
I can reinstall Windows or continue to use new Windows account… but it’s not interesting 
The same problem with NetBeans IDE: netbeans-org Later I will try to use Process Monitor to see what’s the application trying to do.
The problem is completely solved! The ProcessMonitor helps me There is following error:
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/Shell Folders/AppData NAME_NOT_FOUND
I have created this line manually and the application works now.

Hello.
First of all i’m new here and i would like to say thank you for JME!
I need some help too:
I have downloaded jME3_SDK_Alpha-4 for windows (from JMonkeyEngine.org) and installed it.
My problem is that I can’t launch JMonkeyPlatform, or it appears there is a bug when the main frame
is going to be visible. After the loading step is achieved when launching the application, the main frame
appears for less than 1 sec and the process sudenly exit. I have an error log but I can’t find a solution to
that:

Can someone help me?
Update your graphics card drivers and make sure your card supports OpenGL 2.0
I updated the driver to the last version, but I still have the same message when running the application:

There is no problem about OpenGL (my card supports 3.2)
For information I have an ATI Mobility Radeon HD5730, but so far I haven’t got any trouble with it…
I had an old version of JMonkeyPlatform which worked well
Try to install the latest version of JDK.
Latest version of JDK 6 that is
Indeed my jdk 6 version was out of date, which caused the bug…
I installed the latest version and it works
Thank you for your help!
