Installation of IBM RAD 7.5 fails with JVM crash

Question

I am trying to install IBM RAD, while installation, I am getting this error -

JVM terminated exit code=8096

And the installation stops. Is there any way to rectify this problem? Why Does JVM terminates? I verified that this is the jre from IBM which is crashing.

Hello,

one thing you could try is to delete the shared classes cache because this error may be caused by a corrupted cache, the commands to do that are:

java -Xshareclasses:listAllCaches // to see the caches you have

java -Xshareclasses:destroy,name=myCacheName // to destroy the cache

Or just

java -Xshareclasses:destroy // to destroy all caches...

The solution of this problem was to DISABLE the Device3d driver. After disabling the "DirectDraw" and Direct3D accelerations, RAD installed fine. Way to disable is - Open Display Properties -> Settings -> Advanced->Troubleshoot And lower the Hardware Acceleration to "Disable all but basic accelerations".
