Re: Upgraded to 7.0.0.4 and now can't launch WDSC

I'm on Vista, so the log file is in
C:\Users\BCagle\IBM\rationalsdp7.0\workspace\.metadata\.log

Since I did the upgrade to 7.0.0.4, I have not been able to get WDSC to
start normally at all. I originally had it set to always ask me which
workspace to work with.

Right now I am at a loss as to why the reinstall back to just 7.0 is not
working.

Bob:

Where is the log file located?

Because you did the uninstall / reinstall thing I think that this DLL is
really where it is supposed to be and that the WDSCi is getting bad
information from a configuration file or object which wasn't recreated.
The bad configuration information is preventing WDSC from finding the
DLL.

When WDSCi starts normally does it ask you for a workspace or
automatically go to one which has been previously selected (probably the
default)?

If WDSCi doesn't ask for the workspace when it starts, uses a previously
selected one, then we might be able to
- either specify a new workspace by tinkering with the shortcut,
- or rename the workspace
Either will force WDSC to create a new workspace and reinitialize.

No, it is not asking for the workspace before crashing. I get an error
messaging directing me to the log file, which has this message:

Bob:

Having configuration folder empty after an install, except for
org.eclipse.update seems like it would be okay. Looks like the folder
is created when
the product is installed and on any update.

What errors are you getting? In the workspace/.metadata folder is a
file name ".log". That will list the errors if WDSCi gets far enough
into the launch.

Does it ask for a workspace before crashing?

I had already tried the uninstall/reinstall route once, but just tried
it again anyway. Still no go. I checked my \SDP70\configuration folder
and the only subfolder I have listed there is \org.eclipse.update.

I should mention that my problems began when I installed Rational
Business Developer 7.1, as well as the update to 7.0.0.4.

I have since uninstalled everything but WDSC 7.0. But since that folder
still isn't there, it still won't launch.

Where does the \org.eclipse.update folder come from? I would assume
it's created during the install of Eclipse, but my subsequent reinstalls
did not recreate the folder...

Hi Bob:

swt-win32-3236 is a Windows library with the Windows specific code for
SWT (the Eclipe GUI).

On my installation it is found in one of the osgi bundles

...\SDP70\configuration\org.eclipse.osgi\bundles

That doesn't help you much.

I agree with David's analysis however uninstall, re-install, re-upgrade
is painful.

If you can't find it in one of those folders in the bundles folder then
David is right, the installation is hosed. If it is there then I'd try
to create a new workspace and see if it will come up in a clean, newly
created workspace.

If you get as far as the prompt for the workspace put in a new workspace
name and see if it will start.

Good luck!
Bill Blalock

I just upgraded to the 7.0.0.4 fix-pack and now WDSC won't even launch.
I get the error "An error as occurred. See log file..."



In the log file, I have the error message:



!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2008-06-17 09:20:08.524

!MESSAGE Application error

!STACK 1

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: swt-win32-3236 (Not found in

Has anyone else seen this before?
