Java VM issues when install HW13 in a Windows7 64bit

Altair Forum User

Hi,
 
Something went wrong when I install HW13 in a Windows7 64bit PC.

• When I launched hw13.0_win64.exe, selected all moduals to install, I got several notifications that 'InstallAnywhere Self-Extractor has stopped working' or 'LaunchAnywhere has stopped working', and just few files and folders were copied to destination directory, none of the moduals was installed.
• I installed Desktop/Solvers/sTDesign successfully using their sub-installers.
• Now I can't install 'Desktop help' and 'Solver help' because they can be installed only by using the Master installer.
• I got those 'stopped working' notifications if running hw13.0_win64.exe for two help moduals.
• I tracked to the temp directory 'c:\users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\I1413011089\Windows\' and tried 'hwsolvershelp13.0_win64.exe', then I got 'Windows error 2 occurred while loading Java VM'.

Any ideas?
Thank you.
