Sikuli X1.0rc2 terminates on taking screenshot(zipped version)

--1: might already be the case - only to be sure:
path-to-your-Sikuli\lib
and
path-to-Java-JRE\jre6\bin

have to be in system path

--2: use this to start the IDE:
java -Dsikuli.console=false -jar "path-to-your-Sikuli\sikuli-ide.jar"

on a command line. You will find more information there after the termination.

Termination of the IDE also happens in case of Sikuli X1.0 rc2 installer version..Pls help me fix.I did try fixing the system path as well

--1. it might be necessary to restart the system after having fixed the system path in system preferences -> extended -> environment variables.

--2. run echo %PATH% on commandline and paste the output.

--3. did you make the above test --2 ?

Hi RaiMan

Uuups, you are running Java build 6.

You need at least build 16. Current build is 24 (recommended ;-)

And you should sanitize your PATH: double entries (no problem now, but might become one with future versions).
The path entry to the JDK is not needed for Sikuli.
