HDFView fails to execute

HDFView / Java HDF Object Package
1

I installed HDFView for Windows.

Running from the command line, the following errors occur
Any Ideas what the problem is?

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\Users\RJC1\AppData\Local\HDF_Group\HDFView\runtime\bin\hdf5_java.dll: The specified procedure could not be found

at hdf.view.HDFView.main(HDFView.java:2563)
Exception in thread “main” java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: ‘int hdf.hdf5lib.H5.H5dont_atexit()’
at jarhdf5@1.10.7/hdf.hdf5lib.H5.H5dont_atexit(Native Method)

Failed to launch JVM

Windows require all the dlls to be found on the path, the java packager does not set the path correctly. On the HDFView support site is the details. See: https://portal.hdfgroup.org/display/support/HDFView+3.1.2#HDFView3.1.2-knownprobs

Sorry, I can’t find any more details using this link. What is the solution to the problem, which directories do I have to add exactly? This is how I was trying to start the viewer from the command line to see the errors:

Thanks a lot,
Jens

One solution is a link to download a batch file for windows.

5

Another solution on windows is to copy the dlls in the runtime/bin folder to the top folder alongside HDFView.exe.

thanks, found a .bat file in another thread here

I see you found an alternate solution, but for the record, the suggested linkdoes provides links to hdfview scripts that set the PATH for Windows or Linux:
