Wind River won't start

[radau]

I'm having trouble with Wind River Workbench. When I start it, the splash shows but after a few seconds it'll disappear and the workbench won't start. I've tried reinstalling it but the problem continues. It's on Windows XP, and I've got Java 1.6 installed.

thanks for any help
also, I've got Eclipse Ganymede and it works fine.

Check to see if there is a wind river process running in the task manager. It could be running but not showing up for some reason.

I can see the process start, but then it simply dies and disappears from the process list. Does anyone know if Wind River has any error log? I've tried running the executable from the command prompt but it doesn't print anything (useless!)...

I've reinstalled a few times now. No luck :|. Anyone?

What stupid software...
The workspace can ONLY be C:\WindRiver\workspace

If you f*ck this up like I did, just delete the folder C:\Documents and Settings\Username\.workbench-0000

Last post; a list of grievances.

1. MUST use C:\WindRiver as install path.
2. MUST use C:\WindRiver\workspace as workspace path.
3. No Wind River-specific error logging.
4. Installer takes forever... 30+ minutes at LEAST, for only the workbench!
5. Installer leaves a ton of junk all over the place.
6. Uninstaller leaves a ton of junk all over the place.
7. Licensing deal is confusing; in fact the entire install process is confusing. Mess it up even slightly and the install is botched.
8. Severe lack of documentation & support. Not asking for a lot of support; a simple message board would be nice, but one is nowhere to be found!

What a gorramn joke!

This happened to me too. I would also get a stack overflow error.

My solution was creating a new workspace.. That is, moving the /workspace directory to the desktop, creating a new one, then re-importing everything from desktop/workspace using windriver's import function.
