Went the C:\Programs(x86)\Java\jre6\bin folder as suggested in another thread here, and pointed the message to it, Now when I click on the TWS icon, nothing happens at all. Well, the Windows mouse pointer suddently turns into the blue revolving circle, then back to the mouse pointer, so I know something actually is happening, but what?
I next opened Task Manager, to see if there was any executables related to IB or TWS running. There was not. However, if I clicked on the TWS icon while watching the Task Manager window, I could see javaw.exe*32 appearing in the Processes list for a second, then disappearing.
This suggested to me there may a 64bit compatibility issue. I went back to the Java website to see what they said about 64bit Java. http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
There was a note under the Windows install links that said "Information about the 64-bit Java plug-in" which took me to this page http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/...20for%2064-bit which had a link for " 64-bit manual download" which when followed, took you back to the original Java Wndows download page t http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
Great....so maybe it is contained within the install package, I uninstalled everything, Java, TWS and then did a driver clean, and a restart, and then installed Java again, then TWS. Same result...TWS would do nothing.
So I went to Google, and found that there was a 64 bit Java plugin that was not included in the standard JRE package. I then installed that, and then when clicking on TWS, I get an error message saying incompatible version of Java on my computer, I have version 0 when I need 6.0 or greater.
OK....this is getting wierd.
So I uninstalled Java again, and installed the one recommended on the Java webpage, did the verify Java thing, and got the congratulations message. I then uninstalled TWS and found the link to version 906 that was mentioned in the Ninjatrader install help pages.
Still getting the same problem...click on TWS and nothing continues to happen.
When I open Ninjatrader and connect to IB, I get the error message "Login failed: IB Adapter StartTWS: file C:\Jts\jts.ini does not exist. please check TWS installation."
So any help would be great..
