Someone better acquainted with the project might want to sign it over to SWT. Well, as so often, I'll again will promise myself that *next time*, I'll really check everything else first before reporting a bug :-) It is automatically started with Windows which can be checked with the msconfig command.

There might be a SWT bug hidden in there, of course.Īlso, I filed it under JDT just because I couldn't figure out where else the bug would belong, sorry about that. Nwiz.exe, commonly referred to nView Wizard, is a component that gets installed when Nvidia video card drivers are installed on a system. nView Desktop has always had some compatibility problems with other products, like Microsoft Office 2007 for example. While I guess that it might be worthwhile to follow up on the problem, it's not so much an Eclipse bug as it is a nView Desktop bug. As windows XP loads i get a nview error box stating Wizard Error- There is already a copy of the nView Wizard running. Turning this thing off reliably fixes the problem. As it turns out, the bug (screenshot attached), is really caused by nVidia's 'nView Desktop Manager'. Now here's the thing: all machines affected have nVidia video cards. Today we could verify that however the described process works on laptops in the office. I thought we checked everything and that it really is an Eclipse bug. The 'New Project'-dropdown is still available and functional however. The best solution of course would be to let the user select a geographic region for the download service. Up to now, we could not narrow down a specific download that's causing this but we can reproduce the bug reliably by updating a standard Eclipse download using the above command-line setting. Since then, after downloading updates while using this setting, the 'New Project' wizard only shows an empty pane with no UI.

We're based in Germany, but we're often cooperating with English users, which leads to the situation that we're running Windows XP installations with English Eclipse installations.Īs the updater uses the language settings of the OS to determine the download servers and manually selecting a German server 50 times during an update is not feasible, we've used the '-nl' command-line setting to 'force' an english Eclipse to download updates from German servers by using:
