The error I get on my laptop is:
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

from bulk_extractor.

I think that this is a problem with your system. Try upgrading to Java 7.

from bulk_extractor.

Why don't you download and install the jre 7 And then try the MSI installer and let me know. You can also use the command line version

Mh have to download now the full JDK 1.7? Thats a lot.

MSI? You mean the .exe file?
I am trying currently, lets see if it works now =)
The command line version works like a charm.

I updated the downloads. There is an MSI

which specific page there? I looked all pages there and found no link to an MSI installer or else
just https://github.com/downloads/simsong/bulk_extractor/be_installer-1.3.1_unsigned.exe and thats the same I am using all the time

All don see them there: https://github.com/simsong/bulk_extractor/wiki/_history

Starting the BEViewer.jar fileshipped with this 1.3.1 unsigned exe file via command line gives me Error: Invalid or corrupt jarfile BEViewer.jar

Also 7zip which normally can read and open jar files cant open it (can not be opened as archive) so it seems the jar file is broken.

So this is not a problem with my laptop or system or any configuration I did.

from bulk_extractor.

My error. The https://github.com/downloads/simsong/bulk_extractor/be_installer-1.3.1_unsigned.exe is the installer, but it was made with the Nulsoft installer (which we moved to). I just downloaded the unsigned.exe from github on a Windows 7 system and it worked just fine. Have you tried this on a fresh install Windows 7 with Java?

Here are the file details:

$ sha1 BEViewer.jar 
  filename      size                     SHA1                  
===============================================================
BEViewer.jar  1301767  f286e5f6b6b1466f2af4b8e088cddae9860f2a6a

from bulk_extractor.

You are correct. We used to have a MSI, but now it is an EXE installer done with NSIS.

I just downloaded this and ran it on my VM. It works fine:

https://github.com/downloads/simsong/bulk_extractor/be_installer-1.3.1_unsigned.exe

The problem is with your system. I suggest you create a new Windows VM, do a clean install of Java, and then install our installer. It should work.

Why not IZPack as installer? Just a suggestion for the future =)

Well, also 7zip and java -jar say that the jar file is corrupted. I am now very confused.

I downloaded it using Google Chrome.
Will try it now again on my Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium SP1 Java7 Update 10 machine

Ok using the jar file in the dir Bulk Extractor 1.3.1 works but in the dirs 32-bit and 64-bit not.
The jar files there are 1KB in size instead of 1272KB so it seems this is the problem.

Starting the jar file directly using the command line solves the problem for me. Seems to be also a problem with the exe file (55KB) in the subdirs.

Can you confirm that this is also on your Windows PC, that the jar files in 32-bit and 64-bit are just 1KB (269bytes?) in size?

from bulk_extractor.

Did you check the SHA1 of the file you downloaded to see if it matches f286e5f6b6b1466f2af4b8e088cddae9860f2a6a`?

The MD5 is e33cb19840d07333b3c76df41a1cce65.

Did you try another machine? Please both verify the hash and try on another machine.

Other machine the same, jar files in 64-bit directory is just 1KB in size
Seems to be a problem with the installer
But starting the main jar file directly works so this is solved for me.

from bulk_extractor.

Did you verify the hash value?

If you want to make a better installer, please do so.

Hash value is right, just installer issue

from bulk_extractor.

Daniel,

This just isn't working.

I've asked you to verify the MD5 or SHA1 file of the JAR file that you downloaded. Have you done that?

I asked you to do a clean install on a new machine. You told me you tried on another machine, but you didn't tell me if you have it running on a clean machine.

I provided the SHA1 and github changed it into a URL to a non-existant location. Kind of weird, but that's what GITHUB did, so that's why I modified the posting on the website.

If you don't want to do these things, that's fine. You don't have to. I've provided you with information and you've told me that you have it operating. I'm going to consider this closed.

Thanks again.

I have downloaded the unsigned.exe file like you said.
The other machine is a clean install

The MD5 hash of the big jar file is e33cb19840d07333b3c76df41a1cce65

used https://github.com/downloads/simsong/bulk_extractor/bulk_extractor-1.3.1.zip

this is weird (take a closer look at the filesizes and it seems the beviewer.exe cant launch the jar files, also deinstalled and installed it multiple times, always the same result):

It works now for me, the problem was the 1KB sized jar file.
