Cannot launch SQL Developer 4.0.1

Question

Brand new machine, new install of SQL Developer (x64 w/out JRE), when I try to launch sqldeveloper.exe, it gets stuck at about 10%.

What logs, if any, should I be looking at for errors?

SQL Developer 4.0.1

JDK 1.7.0_55

Windows 7 Professional x64

Edit I ran sqldeveloper64.exe, and hit ctl+pause/break when the launcher started hanging, this is the output:

Answer 1

I do not know why, but installing to a different directory fixed the problem. It was originally installed in c:\oracle\sqldeveloper (as it was in my previous environment when everything was working happily), and I moved it to c:\sqldeveloper, now everything is working. I also cleared out the AppData folders (\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer and \AppData\Roaming\sqldeveloper), but I had done that countless times prior to relocating the installation during troubleshooting. I should also note I double and triple checked security settings on the original install directory and my user had full control.

Answer 2

Same problem - solved by moving to different directory... More by mistake I tried to run datamodeler from destination, which included "!" in its path (like "c:\!!! - datamodeler"). Not possible. After moving anywhere without "!" in path it started to work OK.

• Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393]
• Oracle Data Modeler 4.5.1.
• Oracle Data Modeler 4.2 Beta - the same situation...

No error, no log... just crash after 1.5cm progressbar on splashscreen... 2 Hours of life gone. Hope it helps somebody...
