After years of working OK, I’m suddenly getting this message when trying to start the JVM:
Error: could not open `C:Program FilesJavajre6libamd64jvm.cfg'
I tried uninstalling, and got a message saying a DLL was missing (unspecified) Tried re-installing, all to no avail.
At the same time, when trying to start Scala I get:
Javajdk1.6.0_25binjava.exe was unexpected at this time.
Checked %JAVA_HOME% and %path% – both OK
Can anyone help?

Might be a slightly different cause, but that second issue occurs for me in scala 2.9.0.1 on Win7 (x64), though scala-2.9.1.final has already resolved this issue mentioned here:
Javajdk1.6.0_25binjava.exe was unexpected at this time.
My %JAVA_HOME% set to a path like this: c:program files(x86)Javajdk...
Note the space and the parentheses.
If you change line 24 in %SCALA_HOME%binscala.bat from:
if exist "%JAVA_HOME%binjava.exe" set _JAVACMD=%JAVA_HOME%binjava.exe
to
if exist "%JAVA_HOME%binjava.exe" set "_JAVACMD=%JAVA_HOME%binjava.exe"
It works fine. Note the quotes around the set command parameters, this will properly enclose any spaces and ‘special’ characters (eg: spaces and parentheses) in the variable’s value.
Hope this helps someone else searching for an answer.
