Hello Kausik, As a workaround, are you able to edit the jnlp file that is downloaded for Jalview Webstart to increase max-heap-size say to 2G? And run from the command line with javaws.
Someone will follow up on the Installer error (who is not on a mini iPad in a remote corner of the Scottish Highlands).

I have 32-bit Java JRE v.1.8.0_101 on my Windows 10 x64 machine. 2. So I downloaded the 32 bit installer without the VM. 3. Trying to install kept giving me Windows error 2 in loading Java VM. 4. I bypassed the error by running from a command prompt: install-jalview.exe LAX_VM “C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_101\bin\java.exe” 5. The installation would start and then fail with an error message about –i switch re GUI 6. So, I tried: install-jalview.exe LAX_VM “C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_101\bin\java.exe” –i gui 7. The installation went through this time. I was asked to specify a folder for installation, which I did. 8. The installation was finished with a note that there were errors. Now I find that none of the Java .jar executables in the created Jalview program folder work. None. Double-clicking on them returns no action at all. I checked my Java by double-clicking an unrelated .jar file I had (a statistical applet) and it worked as usual. I must be doing something wrong; can someone please help? I cannot use the web-based version, because my FASTA files are large and I am running out of memory (I tried).
