[resolved] Problem starting...reinstall this program OSX

This is what I get with the latest 1.61 for OS X on 10.5.6

"Problem starting up Bomes Midi Translator. Please reinstall this program. [NullPointerException]"

I have downloaded and reinstalled multiple times, same thing.

Thanks,
Tim

Oh, that doesn't sound good! Sorry for this problem.

- Is this the trial or full version?

And, to help us, can you launch the program from a terminal window?
1. Open terminal
2. Type 3. hit Enter to start MT in the Terminal

If there is any output on the Terminal, please copy/paste it here into the forum. That will greatly help us finding out what's going on!

Thanks a lot,
Florian

Hi Florian,

This is the full version. I just did the terminal window thing, and I see the splash screen for a split second, and then the same error in a dialog box.

Unfortunately there is no output in the terminal window, it simply goes to a new line after the program executes

Im running on a Macbook Pro 2.4ghz and was able to use the first OSX bulids of Bomes versions without any drama.

Hi,

I've contacted you by PM to follow up with this problem.

Thanks,
Florian

Was a solution ever found for this? I'm running into the same error.

Things I've tried:
* Nothing shows in the console when ran the app from there.
* I've restarted my laptop.
* Tried starting with my midi-usb plugged in & not plugged in.
* Reinstalled multiple times, even deleting the Bome directory in my home folder.
* It worked once when I first started it entered my license key, but has yet to startup since.

Nope, sorry. The Bomes crew was very, very helpful, but we never resolved it.

I told them I was going to wait for 10.5.7 to be released as I plan on reinstalling when it does... and then MT still didn't work, I would get back to them

w00t! i figured it out. \o/

so goto spotlight (or quicksilver) and type 'java preferences'. then make sure that j2se5.0 is the top most jre used - mine was set to 6. there were some changes between the versions that obviously makes things not backwards compatible.

anyway, this solved my problem, and i bet itll solve urs as well.

Sure doesn't

Mine was set to 5 already. Rats.

jic, it's set to 5 32-bit and not 5 64-bit right?

You sir, are a champ.

now she works
