After the latest Java update, Minion fails to start.

[the23rdmagus]

As of the 8/29/09 Java runtime update, MMOUI Minion refuses to start at all. I'm running Win7 RC x64 and have had no problems until now. Any other information I can provide to get it back up and running again?

I will need to see your log file to know for sure.

I have heard reports in the past of the Java updater magically deciding that a different architecture should be applied to your system (e.g., updating 32-bit Java versions to 64-bit Java versions). If that's what happened, you'll need to reinstall as you have the wrong libraries packaged.

I'm working on a way of detecting this automatically in the future.

That error does suggest your libraries do not match your installed Java version. It is possible the updater has installed a new 32-bit JVM, and originally you used a 64-bit JVM. The 32-bit one now appears to be the default.

Please try reinstalling to get the appropriate library.

Problem solved. Hate it when runtime updaters mess with the defaults. Thank you for your assistance.
