Launch the Migration Toolkit

Thank you for a problem report. I've just launched the same version of Migration Toolkit on XP Pro without any problems. So, I have a couple of questions to you:

1. Is it plain XP or any SP installed?
2. Do you have any Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed? What versions, if any?

I'm running SP2 and the latest critical updates for Windows.  My java version is j2sdk1.4.2.  Let me know if you need any further info.

Thank you for the additional information. I'll try with jre 1.4.2 on XP SP2, but I found that the latest Java on my box where it works OK is jre 1.5.0_02. So, can you, please, try to install Java 5.0 and check once more?

I installed java 5.0.  Uninstalled the Migration toolkit.  Reinstalled the Migration toolkit.  Still getting the same errors.

Please, look at the bug report http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=14041. Your's looks similar to that one. May be, one of the ideas about the reason expressed there will help you too. Inform about any results.

Changing the properties for the link fixed the problem.  Seems that if you use a non-standard installation path that the installer doesn't update the launch icon appropriately.

Hi!

I can't find a way to reproduce this bug.  Can you please check your JAVA installation and ensure its working correctly ?  MT ran perfectly fine for me.

Thanks

To reproduce this bug, during installation, you have to select a drive and/or path that is different than the default.  Then when you launch you will see the error.  The problem is with the icon not being updated with the correct drive/path during installation.
