gephi/trunk — Issue #42: Gephi does not start (Win7 64)
Author: mbastian
Created: 2011-10-22 16:41:50+00:00
State: open
Labels: Confirmed, High, windows7

OS: Windows 7 64 bits
Version: Gephi 0.7a4

Gephi does not launch at all. It was installed using a local admin account. Trying to run gephidesktop.exe results in the following error:

"Your user directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Gephi-0.7) cannot reside inside your NetBeans installation directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Gephi-0.7)."

Environment parameters:
HOMEDRIVE=C:
HOMEPATH=\Users\raynorvliegendhart

Workaround:
Change default_userdir in gephidesktop.conf from "${HOME}/.${APPNAME}/dev" to the hardcoded path "c:/Users/raynorvliegendhart/".
