Background Information

Symptoms: The user uses Windows. An error displays at the installation of voice software, for example, audium.exe or another installer, which indicates a Java problem. One such error message is this:

Windows error 3 occurred while loading the Java VM

Resolution: A voice installer can be forced to use a particular Java installation rather than the default. With this, you can be sure that it uses a supported Java version. Follow this procedure:

1. Open a console, for example, Start -> Run... -> cmd.

2. Navigate to the location of the installer file.

3. Run the installer with the LAX_VM option followed by the full path to the desired java.exe, for example,

audium.exe LAX_VM "C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_08\bin\java.exe"
