Problem Booting Up IB TWS 884.6

Quote from kiwi_trader:

I believe that the ways to load two different javas didn't actually work. When I looked at what TWS was using it seemed to always use the latest.

Note that if, like me, you use the server version of jvm you will need the jdk version of 6u10. Its at

Did you download the development kit? Or one of the others?

I download the development kit but you only need the jre (java runtime environment) unless you screw around with the server jvm as I do.

So, just use the first link that was given (not mine) and the full offline install download is about 15M (the jre). You know if you've got the jdk by mistake because its 60+Megabytes..
 
I made the mistake of downloading the development kit. I got plenty of room though on the hard drive so I guess it doesn't matter.

The good news is I'm able to download TWS with the SSL checked with no problem at all.

Thanks to all of you guys. You're the best.

I am not sure if my problem is related, but
I am having a similar boot problem with tws.
It may not be the same problem. I am posting
this because seemingly IB support has lost the
skill of looking at source code.

I just moved to Fedora Core 8 Linux (stable)
and followed the normal installation procedures
including downloading the latest Sun Java.
My symptom is that tws will run only if a new
copy is down loaded. If I try to run a second
time, I get a "can not launch" fatal error
(using the new Java javaws launcher from my
firefox browser). Removing "*tws*" files in
/tmp helps some but is not sufficient. Also,
switch back and forth between tws and beta
tws helps some, but is also not sufficient.

Any suggestions?
