Re: This is why I never update...

This was it

If I ran from existing shortcuts, I got the error mentioned.
Once I located and ran the RDI.EXE from the folder, I received a Windows Defender message asking me to "allow" or "trust" it on different networks.

After doing that, I had to recreate my shortcuts.  I have no idea why - it doesn’t make sense.

But it's back up and running

Hi Daniel,

I just did an update of RDi 9.8.0.3 to 9.8.0.4 on Windows.

My RDi.ini now has similar to yours:
-vm
plugins/com.ibm.semeru.certified.jdk.x64.windows_9.8.4.202412070822/jdk/bin/javaw

And in my files, I do have a javaw.exe in C:\tools\IBM Rational Developer for i\plugins\com.ibm.semeru.certified.jdk.x64.windows_9.8.4.202412070822\jdk\bin where C:\tools\IBM Rational Developer for I is my installation folder.  Can you check that you do have the javaw.exe in the installation path on your machine?

During your update, do you remember if you were prompted about ‘trusting’ any of the selected updates?

Thanks,

I don't think so ...

>> plugins/com.ibm.semeru.certified.jdk.x64.windows_9.8.4.202412070822/jdk/bin/javaw

Even if there are forward slashes in the JRE path, the plugin name clearly states x64 and Windows.

But we also had a problem with someone who had made changes to the RDi.INI after an update, and had to edit it manually.

Regards,
Daniel
