I installed/unzipped DeltaWalker but it won't start. Why?

The most likely reasons DeltaWalker would not start after you have installed or unzipped it are:

Wrong or Missing Java Virtual Machine

DeltaWalker requires a suitable Java 2 Platform to run. If no such JVM is installed on your machine, DeltaWalker will show a message box alerting you to this fact. Should that be the case, Deltopia recommends that you download a DeltaWalker + latest Sun JRE bundle from the DeltaWalker's download site or you download and install such JRE yourself.

Unsupported platform

Make sure your software and hardware configuration are among the ones DeltaWalker is certified to run on, as listed in the DeltaWalker Reference Platforms. For instance, DeltaWalker will not run on Windows 95.

Missing GTK (Linux-only)

If you in downloaded and installed DeltaWalker for Linux, you need to make sure that your Linux distribution has a correctly installed GTK+ 2.1.1 or higher.

New DeltaWalker Unzipped Over an Older DeltaWalker

While this may work, we strongly recommend that you avoid doing it. Choose one of the following, safer installation options:

Insufficient Memory or Disk Space

Make sure that your hardware configuration is adequate for running DeltaWalker.
