Description:
I installed Migration toolkit on Windows XP (sp2) machine. But while installation I choose to change the default installation path. Application installed perfectly alright.

Then I tried to run it from start->Mysql->... it refused to run by giving some beared java errors.

I crosschecked that I have all latest JRe and Java installed properly on my machine. I tried uninstalling and re-installing JRE and Java on my machine... restarted computer... but still Migration Toolkit reused to run.

When I checked  the "start in" property of this migration toolkit shortcut, I found that it is pointing to wrong (default) installation directory. When I changed this to correct directory everything worked properly.

How to repeat:
Install Migration Toolkit on Windows XP (sp2) machine and while installation choose different Target Path (not the default).

Thanks for your bug report.  I installed MT in D:\my\migration toolkit and the bug you described happened.
