Error when opening Defold Engine on Windows7

Hi, Defold team,
thanks for building this amazing product, as a heavy-Lua user, I appreciated it so much.

The thing is, Defold worked so well on my Windows10 laptop,
but since that laptop goes to my friend and I started using Windows7 laptop, but it’s not working.
Until I build the project, it’s fine, but when I click build menu, it just goes off.
Everytime I build the project, I get error text documents.

Here are some of them.


A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x00000000, pid=10876, tid=10636

I cannot figure out what the problem is even after reading this text file.
And here, my system spec.

I downloaded zip file on “Downloads” and extracted zip on “Desktop”, not in C or D or any other Disks.
Also, Defold engine 2 just goes off just right after running the program. I couldn’t even open any projects. please help…

Looks like you may need a fresh cup of Java :slight_smile:

Perhaps try to uninstall and reinstall Java on that machine. Looks very outdated.

This also looks like wrong version. I think that is for 32 bit version for Windows XP.

hm that is a weird part.
when I type java -version on command prompt,
it tells
"java hotspot 64-bit server vm <build 25.121-b13, mixed mode)…
and its version is 1.8.0_121 which is the latest.
