Hi Chris.
As a control experiment, what if you replace your invocation of the IDV to
jre\bin\java -version >> mylog.log 2>&1
This should output the java version to mylog.log
This experiment will be able to tell us if this is a Java problem or an IDV
problem. Both standard output and standard error will end up in mylog.log.
What is in mylog.log?
