How the splash looks like when iReport does not start

Progress is shown both which module is loaded and a progress bar

The iReport splash screen is shown when the iReport is started from the TrayLauncher and from C:\IMSMAng\iReport\bin but the application does not start. One known reason for this is that a new version of Java than 1.7 is installed on the computer.

  1. Edit the file C:\IMSMAng\iReport\etc\ireport.conf.
  2. Edit row 12 to
jdkhome="C:\IMSMAng\java"
  1. Note that there should not be any # at the beginning of row 12.
  2. Save the file.
  3. Test to start again.
  4. If it does not work then you have to edit the environmental variable PATH.
  5. Remove all references to Java 1.8.
  6. Test to start again.
  7. If it does not work now then you have to edit the environmental variable JAVA_HOME.
  8. Set JAVA_HOME to C:\IMSMAng\java.
  9. Test to start again.
