Vagrant0 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Talking about the shortcut right? First, make sure that a recent version of Java is installed. If you have a 64 bit installation of windows, edit the shortcut target to something like"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx1024m -jar "<drive and directory here>\Bethesda Softworks\TES4Gecko 15.2\TES4Gecko.jar"The -Xmx1024m refers to the amount of memory that the application can make use of so don't set it higher than what you have installed. If you're using a 32 bit version, it would be something like"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx1024m -jar "<drive and directory here>\Bethesda Softworks\TES4Gecko 15.2\TES4Gecko.jar"ditto on the memory stuff.

I am having the same issue...WIN7 will not allow the creation of the shortcut...keeps saying that "the location 'c:\Program' is not valid...seems to not like that there is a space in the directory name...but there is...I am copying the location of javaw directly from the address bar. I tried following the exact procedure on another computer running WINXP...Gecko loads up no problem...that is until it tries to find the Oblivion directory. Any thoughts here??...

Any thoughts here??...You need to wrap it in quotes, such as in the case of:"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx1024m -jar The flags must be OUTSIDE quotes, but the second part may have to be in them:"<drive and directory here>\Bethesda Softworks\TES4Gecko 15.2\TES4Gecko.jar" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LokiHades Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Sorry for this semi necromancy, but I really had to say thank you for this. Helped a lot. Should be stickied or put in a TES4Gecko help thread. I can finally merge my mods now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearhugs Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I am having problems with Win 7 and gecko too. I tried making the shortcut but it won't let me. It makes the shortcut in java and it won't work. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brasher Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 When I got my new computer with Windows 7, I couldn't get TES4Gecko to work either. But my problem was not so bad. I think all I had to do was download the latest version of Java and closely follow the instructions in the TES4Gecko readme file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
