2012 SE does not start, can't repair or uninstall

Anonymous — Wed, 31 Jan 2024 14:48:15 GMT

Tried to reinstall correct Java version many times, no help. Using Win 10 and Archicad has been working previously without problems.

Any ideas?

What makes you think starting Archicad is a Java problem?
The version of Java should not affect Archicad once it (Archicad) has been installed.

However if you are trying to re-install or update Archicad then I would delete ALL versions of Java.
Then when you install Archicad, it should install the correct version of Java that it needs.
Then you can update Java to the latest version again.

Because I read everywhere, that Java might be the problem and because I updated Java recently and after that Archicad is not working. It won't uninstall or repair, I'm stuck.

The Java version will come into effect when you are installing Archicad, probably un-installing and repairing as well.
But as far as I know it has no effect on Archicad once it is installed.

In the past I have had to install new Java version to install Archicad and then I have removed it because that new version of Java was incompatible with other software needed on the machines.
Once removed Archicad still ran fine.
I just couldn't update it without installing the new Java again.

So that is why i would delete ALL Java from your machine.
Install Archicad - it should install the Java version required.
And then if you need to you can update Java to another version.

This next bit of info will not help you, but I believe that the installers for the latest Archicad do not use Java at all.

It's stuck on "registering archicad...." at the final stage of installation. Any other ideas than Java?

I really don't know then.
Maybe it has something to do with firewall settings or anti-virus software.
You could try disabling these but it may be a good idea to disconnect from the internet while you do this.

Or maybe 2012SE is too old to be compatible with Windows 10?
