Hi,

I've been using Gallery Remote (NoVM) under WinXP for some time now, it's great..

However, I installed the Sun Java VM under XP, and now Gallery Remote complains with:

LaunchAnywhere error: Can't launch executable. Could not load jvm.dll Try re-installing the Java VM or change the Java VM used by the application.

The Sun VM definitely works, but I can't convince Gallery Remote to use that VM instead.

I read that installing the "VM" version of Gallery Remote solves the problem so I decided to uninstall the NoVM version first.

Unfortunately, uninstalling the "NoVM" version does not work anymore, the uninstaller quits with the same error message.

I assume that installing GR-VM over GR-NoVM will solve this, but it is not an elegant solution since I will be stuck with a dead program entry in Add/Remove Software.

Greetings,
Ed. :???:

This is because LaunchAnywhere (the .exe) tries to use the 1.4 VM and fails.

Reinstalling on top of it will not create a dead entry in Add/Remove because it's the same application ID (I hope :smile:).

You can also edit the GalleryRemote.lax file and set the lax.nl.current.vm like so:

lax.nl.current.vm=G:\jdk14\bin\java.exe (or your own VM path; note the double backslashes and the .exe extension).
