Description:
Starting Migration Toolkit 1.0.18-rc on my Windows XP SP1 machine, I first get the error message

file .\source\myx_grt_struct.c: line 369: assertion `gstruct != NULL' failed

Clicking this away I get the message:

The GRT environment could not be initialized. Please check your Java installation then try to restart the tool.

Error details:
The function did not return an object. Error Nr. 10003

Shell output: MySQL Generic Runtime Environment 2.0.10 beta

Type 'help' or '?' for help. Type 'quit' to exit the shell.
Error while loading struct definition (10001).

How to repeat:

I was unable to repeat the behavior reported.
Did you read the below note in the download page?

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/migration-toolkit/1.0.html

ATTENTION: Before installing the MySQL Migration Toolkit please download and install the Java 5.0 or 1.4.2 Runtime Environment (JRE) from http://java.sun.com

I've got JRE 1.5.0_04 installed on this machine:

C:>java -version
java version "1.5.0_04"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_04-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_04-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

Maybe it interferes with something that's quite specific on my PC (it's no fresh installation), so I hoped that the error messages could give you a clue where the error could be found.

This is the first error message, immediately after starting the Migration Toolkit.

After clicking the first message away, this second message box pops up.

The JRE 1.5.0 is properly installed on this machine.

The problem is still there in 1.0.19-rc.

Could you please try the following:

C:\...>grtsh -jvm "C:\Programme\Java\jre1.5.0_02\bin\client\jvm.dll"
MySQL Generic Runtime Environment 2.0.11 beta

Type 'help' or '?' for help. Type 'quit' to exit the shell.

Scanning for struct definitions in ./xml ...
Registered 13 struct definition files.
Initializing Builtin modules...
Initializing Java loader...
Scanning for Java modules in ./java/com/mysql/grt/modules ...

Initializing Lua loader...
Scanning for Lua plugins in ./lua ...
Registered 11 modules.

/ > print(BaseJava:engineVersion())
"Java 1.5.0_02 Sun Microsystems Inc."
/ >

If this works, please start the MT with the same option.

C:\...>mysqlmigrationtool -jvm "C:\Prgramme\Java\jre1.5.0_02\bin\client\jvm.dll"

Then press F4 to get the X GRT shell and execute the same command as before.

It worked:

D:\Programme\MySQL\MySQL Migration Toolkit 1.0>grtsh -jvm "D:\Programme\Java\jre1.5.0_04\bin\client\jvm.dll"
MySQL Generic Runtime Environment 2.0.11 beta

Type 'help' or '?' for help. Type 'quit' to exit the shell.

/ > print(BaseJava:engineVersion())
"Java 1.5.0_04 Sun Microsystems Inc."
/ >
D:\Programme\MySQL\MySQL Migration Toolkit 1.0>mysqlmigrationtool -jvm

... then the Migration Toolkit started.

It seems that your registry is a bit messed up. Could you check

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.5

and see if the RuntimeLib entry is set to the correct path?

Same for all 1.5.x entries. If there is an entry that points to a wrong file the MT is likely to not come up.

I got the same problem running it under windows xp sp2.

The problem is that when you use different install path, the application shortcut doesn't point to the right program path.

I just changed the shortcut's program path to point to my custom install path and the program ran just fine.
