I get a message which reads "Error in Tuxguitar Error while launching program with JVM" - a rather bizarre message.

I'm using Windows 7 Pro x64, and have Java Version 6 Update 16 installed.

I'm aware that tuxguitar does not officially support 64 bit architure, however I've been using it on Vista x64 with no problems. Other people appear to be running it fine under windows 7, as far as I've been able to tell...

HELP PLEASE :(

Just start program in complatitly mode with Windows XP (Service Pack 2) (and 32-bit), or start it as adminstrator.

I am also unable to get rid of the "error in tuxguitar while launching program with jvm. I am using a 64 bit, and have tried to remedy the problem to no avail.

This problem was reported a lot of times, but i could never reproduce it to see why it happens..
My question is.. could you try if the .bat launcher works ?
at folder where you installed tuxguitar ( often, program files/tuxguitar-[version] ) there should be a file named "tuxguitar.bat" that execs the application in a terminal window instead.
I'll try to search for other .exe launcher tool for next release.

It now seems that I have been able to start it with the excelsior download rather than the regular windows 86 installer. How strange.

Simply install a 32-bit JVM next to a 64-bit JVM. Install it in a different directory. Modify tuxguitar.ini in the /Users/AppData/TuxGuitar directory, and put the path to the 32-bit JVM directory...
