If I try to launch Freerouter from PCBNew 20080825c I get a message
"Unable to launch the application". Clicking on the Details button
reports:
Error: Invalid arguments supplied {Files/KiCad/bin/freeroute.jnlp,
C:/Program }
On the Exception tab it says:
InvalidArgumentException[ Invalid arguments supplied:
{Files/KiCad/bin/freeroute.jnlp, C:/Program }]
at com.sun.javaws.Main.launchApp(Unknown Source)
at com.sun.javaws.Main.continueInSecureThread(Unknown Source)
at com.sun.javaws.Main$1.run(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
It sounds like there should be double-quotes around C:/Program
Files/KiCad/bin/freeroute.jnlp in the code that launches Freerouter. I
already have 'C:\apps' hard linked to 'C:\Program Files' to deal with
problems like this (I would love to bend the ear of the person at
Microsoft who came up with 'Program Files' et al). Do I have to
reinstall kicad in C:\apps or is there something I can tweak
retrospectively?
I did search for this one, BTW, and was surprised to get no useful hits.
Regards,
Robert.
