Thank you! What I ended up doing is reinstalling Dev Studio under C:\Program Files\BMC Software\ARSystem folder
It was originally under C:\Temp and was working just fine until last Thursday. I'm starting to think that it may be a folder permission thing or something (I don't know). I didn't even have to "Reinstall" it, I just took the "DeveloperStudio" folder under C:\temp and moved it under C:\Program Files\BMC Software\ARSystem folder and it started working again. My devstudio.ini file was pointing to the correct folder for Java. Still a mystery, but I'm just glad it's working now.

During in upgrade, JAVA updates and new installs, have their directories named according to the version which often causes these kind of issues. These can be easily corrected by updating the path in the devstudio.ini file found in the install directory of the Dev Studio. The contents of this file is typically something like -vm C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe -vmargs -Xms512m -Xmx1024m (I had changed by start and max size to give my JVM a little more boost. Make sure that your JAVA path seen in this file is the same as that of your machine. Also make sure you point it to the most appropriate JAVA version 32 or 64 bit depending on whether you need or do not need to build objects that use OLE. 64 bit JAVA will not allow you to use OLE while 32 bit will. At the same time you do not have too much room to allocate too much available memory on 32 bit JVM's. So choose your JAVA instance carefully.

It's driving me nuts. It's got to be a java thing, but our desktop people uninstalled and reinstalled different versions of Java and it still is giving me this error. I have a weird suspicion that it has to do with Java Virtual Machine. When I tried to reinstall Dev Studio 7.6.04, I got the error "Error Loading: c:\users\xxxxxx\temp\appdata\local\temp\I1403213156\Windows\resource\jre \bin\msvcr71.dll" So I tried to install 8.1 and was able to do that successfully, but then still get the same error of "The DevStudio executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library" My devstudio.ini file is pointing to the correct javaw.exe file (I checked). I'm still digging into this. It just started yesterday afternoon. I'll post if I find the fix!

I wonder if they are related, perhaps there was some sort of Java update that caused the issue? I have uninstalled & reinstalled both the Dev Studio and Java. I am running Windows 8.1 64-bit.
