Javascript optimiser failed (Java needed)

Post by MrTAToad »

I get this error message for some reason, even though Java is installed (and is in %PATH%).

Could you tell me what is displayed when you type: "java -version" in a commandline prompt ?

I had the same error yesterday, even though java worked when called from CMD!

However, I went and installed the latest Java (both of the versions below) and I also let it uninstall the older versions when prompted -- all works fine here now.

I have the same problem too. The command line states :

C:\Users\Me>java -version
java version "1.8.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.25-b02, mixed mode)

Could you test by installing the new JRE as Hi-Toro said ?

Thanks for the feedback. I added in the doc than a new version of the JRE is needed.
