huge carbide initialization problem

[imzadi_il]

Hi,

I installed carbide express on my laptop (with XP SP 2), then installed SDK and then Active Perl. When I tried to launch the IDE, I got the infamous "JVM terminated" messgae. After reading in the forum I installed the JRE 1.4.2_11 and copied its bin and lib folders to the jre in the carbide folder.
I managed to launch carbide this time but the warm elevation feeling I had quickly change to huge dissapointment. I got a message "unable to read workbench state. Workbench UI will be reset" then carbide opened but it was all grey and I can't do anything. For example, File-->New shows "No applicable Items".

What should I do with this strange problems?
Please note that I read many posts and yes, I looked at the release notes, but, there is no hint for the cause and soloution to the problem.

Thanks in advance,
Imzadi

Remove/uninstall the JRE, Perl, sdk, and carbide from your computer.

Then try to install in this manner:
1. install JRE
2. install ActivePerl
3. install SDK
4. install Carbide c++

good luck

Hi,

I had a minor breakthrough. I managed to open the C++ perspective. However, when I try to open the Symbian perspective I get a message "problem opening perpective 'com.symbian.cdt.SymbianPerspective'"

Any ideas?

Have you reinstalled all of the component?
Please try to reinstalled all of the component first.

I think your carbide installation is corrupt.

Is there really no one who that can help me? I can't be the only one who has this problem.
Is there a nokia guy who might be able to help me?

Thanks

Most likely your workspace is corrupted. It could be that you do not have access to the workspace directory or the file "workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.ui.workbench\workbench.xml" could be corrupted or similar.

You could:
- Check the current workspace setting and check the directory, does it exist and do you have access?
- Delete the file listed above
- Change to a fresh workspace

Thanks for your answer Mitts.

Unfortunatelly, it didn't help. I have access to my workspace, I deleted the files and switched workspaces but that didn't work either.
Eventually, I copied the workbench.xml file from my working application to the laptop. The eclipse now opens nicely but when trying to create new Symbian project, I get the following message:

The selected wizard could not be started.
Reason:
Plug-in com.symbian.cdt.project was unable to load class com.symbian.cdt.project.ui.NewSymbianProjectWizard.

Any suggesstions how to proceed from here?

guys, I'm really desperate here. I really need to install carbide on my laptop but it doesn't work. Mitts, can you think of something else? I can't believe carbide doesn't work on laptops.
