Use Sikuli-IDE.bat or Sikuli-IDE-w.bat to start IDE.

Look faq 1766, wether you are affected.

Still no IDE is started with both Sikuli-IDE.bat and Sikuli-IDE-w.bat. As per Faq 1766, i see no version issues with me. Please let me know the solution, i can see the java processes running in Task Manager. even the re-installation is also not working

Might be a locale problem.

Try to start in a en-us environment.

It is Starting as same. I am from India. Do you want me to edit the batch file?

What Windows version?

Add the parameter -Dsikuli.console=false to the java execute line in Sikuli-IDE.bat. Might give more information on command line when crashing.

The problem:

When Sikuli IDE starts, it tries to open the script (or scripts), that where open, when Sikuli was last closed. This script contains an image reference, that no longer exists in the respective .sikuli folder (you might know, why this could happen - usually some Sikuli external manipulation by the user ;-)

the solution:

as I said before: see faq 1766:
- get latest version
- delete registry key
