I've just downloaded the zip file of ffdec 1.6.0 but when I double click on the exe file
(even as administrator) it return me the following message:
This application requires Java Runtime Enviroment 1.6.0
and lead me on Java download page.
I've tried to reinstall Java without success.
I tried and old version I had and worked fine (ffdec 1.5.0u1).

Which version of Java do you have? 32bit or 64bit?
Please install the other one or install both.

Installed both Version 7 Update 21 (x86 and x64) and rebboted the computer but still
getting the message. (I'm on Windows 7 x64)
1) Move ffdec to writable folder (not program files)
2) Run ffdec.exe with parameter --l4j-debug
From commandline:
ffdec.exe --l4j-debug
3) Attach generated launch4j.log file here
Thank you.
4) Please open registry editor.
- Go to start menu
- To search field, enter "regedit.exe", press enter
5) In the left tree, navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\
6) Export that branch via menu "File->Export".
7) Attach the .reg file here
Thank you
There is a strange key "1.7u3".
Do you have other java than "1.7.0 update 21" installed?
Please go to Control panel -> Add or remove programs and check if there are more Javas.
Thank you.
No I don't have other java, only Java 7 update 21 and Java 7 update 21 (64-bit), could it
due to the fact that I had the bad idea of restore windows using the default System
Restore some times ago?
Please doubleclick attached REG file.
It will fix JRE registry so the EXE should work.
I don't know how this situation arised.
My colleague tells me it could be caused by automatic java updater which sometimes messes
the things up.

It worked :)
Thank you.
You are welcome.
