LarsC Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Soon one month has passed and I'm still unable to install Football Manager 2009 on my PC. I get the following error message when running both Autorun and Setup.exe (same thing happens with Dev-builds, including latest build (fm2009_28897.exe) : "This application has unexpectedly quit. Invocation of the Java Application has caused an InvocationTargetException. This application will now exit (LAX).

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling 5 different versions of Java. And I've stripsearched the 'known issues'-thread. So... Where do I go from here? I really could use some help.

Butters76 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Have you tried turning it off and on again? Just kidding. I presume you have read through all the tips SI have provided, as well as posted it in the support forum. I think you'll have better luck there. You have my symphaty though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
auto98uk Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Do you have limewire installed? No idea why, but i was getting "Invocation of the Java Application has caused an InvocationTargetException" with limewire installed - i uninstalled it and it worked (this wasn't for FM btw, but it's the only time i've had it ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micado Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Soon one month has passed and I'm still unable to install Football Manager 2009 on my PC. I am head researcher for Norway, and not being able to run the game is creating all kinds of problems for me. Can't you get some help directly from SI then since your the head researcher. Did try to uninstall all java items from the controlpanel - Add/remove programs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarsC Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 I've talked directly to SI, but they have not been able to produce a solution for me yet.. It seems my problem is kind of unique, so I'm reaching out to the community as well here. No Limewire installed, so that can't really be it. What is an InvocationError anyway?

Neji Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Try googling the error, I did quickly and it brought up alot of jargon but it may be worth looking at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUBI Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Just a guess: You did maybe install other Java versions, but the original is still on your computer and will start with priority. Try to delete other Java versions and installing the sun java engine. http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've uninstalled all Java versions before installing new ones. after browsing the technical problems-forum I found that other people have had the same problem as me. but SI hasn't come up with a good answer to any of them. only "uninstall/reinstall java". surely there must be some solution to this. any hints or tips massively appreciated.

GavinZac Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 If you install via Steam, you don't need to use the Java installer. You can register your CD Key with Steam and it will forever be available for you to download from there - everybody should do this anyway, in case you lose your CD or CD Key.

jamiehex Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I do not know if this is relevant. I just had a major problem with JAVA after a recent update to JRE6 update 11. Did not wreck FM but was causing havoc in my work platforms. As it turned out dumbluck saved me. It was Norton/Symantec 2007 version. Even though it was turned off it screwed up the update. No matter how many times I uninstalled java and reinstalled it was "ghosted". As in it said it was there but many parts were not fully installed. After pouring through my event viewer for 6 hours or so I found a clue that led me to stupid Norton. Uninstalled it and redid Java and was fixed.

barry the badger Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 It it were me, I would have re-installed Windows by now. I couldn't agree more. A regularly used home pc will benefit hugely from a fresh install of Windows at least once a year. Do it and you should be playing FM tomorrow.

GavinZac Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 K. A guide on how to install via steam highly appreciated. i. Download steam ii. install steam iii. click on my games iv. click on "register a steam product" or something like that, it's down the end next to "register a non-steam game" v. put your CD Key in the box that comes up. vi. next next next finish and so on. vii. FM will start to download - might take a couple of hours but after a month of waiting that might seem ok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
