I am trying to install the trial verison of Myeclipse but get the message ‘The installer cannot run on your configuration. It will now quit’
The configuration is as follows
File = EnterpriseWorkbenchInstaller_020602.exe
OS = Windows ME 4.90.3060
JAVA = J2SDK 1.4.2_01
TEMP = C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
Free space is 13GBAny ideas, what to try ????
THIS POST IS NOT THE CORRECT ANSWER FOR THE ORIGINAL POSTER’S PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I’M LEAVING IT HERE BECAUSE IT DOES ARTICULATE A REAL PROBLEM WITH THE INSTALLER ON SOME PLATFORMS. FOR THE ANSWER TO THE POSTER’S PROBLEM, PLEASE SEE THE NEXT POST BY SCOTT
Any ideas, what to try ????
This will sound weird, but the problem is that somewhere on your path you’ve specified a directory that contains a very old version of a JVM and that when sorted lexicographically by directory name with all the other entries on the path, it is first. See, I told you it would sound weird.
You see, the folks at Zerog, the makers of Install Anywhere, decided it was a good idea to sort your path prior to searching it for JVMs. Although many people, including myself, have written diatribes as to why this is a bad practice, it nontheless still exists. What we have to do now is figure out which directory is being used and remove it from the path, or set up a very simple environment with only the JDK you want to be used and the standard win32 stuff on it.
Details on turn on diagnostics to figure this out are detailed in this thread:

MyEclipse SupportAfter rereading your problem and my reply, I was struck by another possibility, which I’ve now verified with our installer guys. Our installer isn’t configured to install on Windows ME. It’s simply an oversight and considering the tens of thousands of Windows installer downloads we have, you are apparently the only one running ME. 🙂
Unfortunately, all I can do is enter a bug report so that it will be remedied in the next release of the installer. As a work around, you might be able to fool the installer by opening a command shell and setting the variable ‘OS’ to Windows_NT (as in OS=Windows_NT). If you give that a try, please post back to let us know if it worked.
Sorry we forgot your platform. 🙁

MyEclipse SupportSetting the variable OS makes no difference.
I have been able to install on a Win98 machine, is it possible to copy the files from the Win98 machine and manually configure the Win ME machine ?
While we certainly don’t recommend this approach, it can be done. You’ll need to copy the entire MyEclipse installation directory to the Windows ME machine. In addition, there is a directory called ‘links’ that is installed in main Eclipse directory. It needs to be copied to the ME machine also. Inside the ‘links’ directory is a text file and inside that file is a single Java property that points to the location of MyEclipse. Open that file and make sure that the directory listed is correct on the ME machine. Once that’s done, you should be able to start Eclipse and if you’ve done it correctly it will notify you that new updates need to be installed and will list MyEclipse 2.6.2 and request a restart.
Please let us know how this works out.

MyEclipse SupportThat’s great news. I’ve logged a bug report against the installer to get ME added as a supported platform in the next release. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Let me know !
