java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/install4j/runtime/Launcher

There is a .install4j file in the local directory.

If I run java -jar moneydance.jar,

I get a NullPointerException, then the application opens up.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thank you.

The “small m” and “capital M” moneydance scripts/launchers are not compatible with each other and should not go in the same directory. I think the “update” to 514 was probably because the updater couldn’t tell the difference between the two installer/launcher systems. At this point I would recommend using the (small m) moneydance script with the new jar files. However, one gotcha with that approach is that the self-installed version of Moneydance (the capital M one) should prevent you run from running two copies of Moneydance at once.

After recovering from the update, and since my latest purchase was in June, 04, I downloaded the latest build (apparently 583) and installed it. The default install was to /opt/moneydance rather than my current install to /usr/local/moneydance.

Finally, and here’s the questionable part, I copied the new .jar files to the old directory, /usr/local/moneydance. That seems to work using the old (small m) moneydance startup script, but when I try using the new (capital M) Moneydance script, it exits with the error, “Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/install4j/runtime/Launcher”. My Java version is 1.5.0_03.

Since the old script seem to work, I’m using it with my old desktop application links and the old script for the present. Is there a “gotcha” lurking in my future with this arrangement? Any clue what went wrong with the original update?
