Windows error 3 occured while loading the JVM December 20, 2006

While installing some setups when you encounter this error, then more often the problem is with your java classpath.

Most software based on java require Jdk 1.4 or above.If you have already installed Jdk1.4 or above, check if any old jdk installation is still in classpath. Go to command prompt & type ( C:\> java -version )

If it says java version 1.3 or lower,then install jdk version 1.4 or higher & try installing the product again.

If u already have jdk 1.4 installed & it says version 1.3.0 then just go to command prompt set the claspath to your existing jdk1.4 or above( C:\>set classpath=%classpath%;C:\jdk1.4.0\bin )and start your installation from command prompt itself eg.( C:\Setups\xyz.exe).

If still it doesnt work better reinstall your jdk. (Before installing new jdk,uninstall all old versions of jdk.)

Hi I am Shijupulickal
faced the same problem
I did some workaround an I got a solution for this .
Error- Windows error 3 occured while loading the JVM

Solution:-
Step- 1

install java on C:
While installing the Java change the installation folder location
As C:\java
Step 2
Run the application through CMD Prompt by LAX_VM command and followed by java.exe path

Eg: Suppose I Want to install XXX.exe

C:\xxx.exe LAX_VM C:\Java\bin\java.exe

I think this will help you
