Win 98 prob

[chaz]

This is what I keep getting:
"Out of Environment Space
Syntax error
Syntax error
Syntax error
Syntax error
Bad command or filename"

I cant finish the install, still searching for solutions, but i got 6ghz on Zeta anyways.
Downloaded different client, different java version- no go so far on 4 different machines

irony! I just pulled up your message while installing Zeta on a WinME machine (yes I know, gag, it will be formatted soon) and I got the same error.
found a MSKB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;261825
Then did what it said to the zeta.bat file. Basically:
1. Right click the zeta.bat file, choose Properties.
2. Click the Memory tab.
3. Change the Initial Environment from Auto to 4096 (maybe other sizes will work, but I went for the max)
4. Click Apply, click OK.
5. Run it.

one more thing.
open up zeta.bat in notepad and look for

SET JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\IBM\Java13\jrerem
and change it to

SET JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\IBM\Java13\jre\
or wherever the BIN folder is that holds java.exe on your machine. This happened to me, so your mileage may vary.

Hey if you guys are using IBM Java try this

nice -19 java -Xms64m -Xmx192m -Djava.library.path=. -Dsun.net.inetaddr.ttl=0 -Dnetworkaddress.cache.ttl=0 -Dnetworkaddress.cache.negative.ttl=0 -cp zeta.jar:zeta_client.jar zeta.ZetaClient

OK Out of environment Space is gone, but still getting syntax errors... Tried your tip too Bionic, no go there either. Although the screensaver is working now, i'd rather be running command line.

ok now I had to try it in win 98. here is what I did.

#1 create shortcut to any file in your zeta folder
#2 Edit shortcut by replacing Target with
"C:\Program Files\IBM\Java13\jre\bin\java.exe" -Djava.library.path=.;c:\\zeta -Dsun.net.inetaddr.ttl=0 -Dnetworkaddress.cache.ttl=0 -Dnetworkaddress.cache.negative.ttl=0 -Xmx128m -Xms64m -cp zeta.jar;zeta_client.jar zeta.ZetaClient now rename shortcut something like console

Ok its working after adding your shortcut and target line.

In the shortcut properties, the "Start in" line was blank so it would just launch and crash.. I had to add C:\Zeta there and now it works....

Thank you both very much !!

Now if I could just get my email from Zeta.................

[Bionic_Redneck]

My shortcut already had the start in C:\zeta seems quite strange for windows to create a shortcut without a directory to start in.

[chaz]

I had to do it on each machine, I made a shortcut to Zeta.exe.At least its working now, thats good, thanks again.

Java type seems to make little or no difference.. but the perf stats on their performance page hopefully were with older WU's. Supposedly newer WU's take longer, cuz I cant hit close to 50 zeros a sec.
