Windows7 64Bit: Sikuli disappears when Take Screenshot is clicked

on 64-Bit Windows:
-- 32-Bit Java has to be used
-- Sikuli-IDE.bat or Sikuli-IDE-w.bat has to be used to start Sikuli IDE (the .exe cannot be used)

I have the same problem. I am using 32bit Java, Sikuli-IDE.bat and JRE 7u1.
Do I have to install Java 6?
Also, is there a way to make Sikuli output usable debug information?
The console window only contains "[info] locale: de_DE" and that is not very helpful...

@ Josef

--1. Java 7 currently not yet possible --- you need Java 6

--2. Try additional parameter -Dsikuli.console=false on the java execute line in Sikuli-IDE.bat. But this might not give you additional information when having startup problems.

Windows 7 sp1 x86, JRE6 and JRE7
I had this problem, until I wrote in .bat file the path to jre6. Thanks, RaiMan. It works without this parameter.

I cant get this working on windows 7 .... no matter what i try i cannot capture screenshots in sikuli, the program just dissapears and I have to use the task manager to close it.

@ na (dirkgb30)

pls give detailed information about your config (system, environment info, Sikuli installation, ...)
and some information on what you have done so far (How do you start Sikuli?)

Hi this is fixed now ... i had to uninstall all versions of java and re-install java 6 update 30.

I also had to change the set java in sikuli to this -
set JAVA_EXE="C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe"
in the bat file here -
C:\Program Files\Sikuli X\Sikuli-IDE.bat

Thanks for the support, very much appreciated !

by the way i was using windows 7 - 32bit with autoupdate enabled for both windows and java ... i suspect this problem occured due to a recent java update.

That's what I have in my sikuli-ide.bat to make it work on Windows XP 32bits + JAVA 6.

@echo off
set JAVA_EXE="C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe"
