Issue

  • When running the Dev Studio Installer, I encountered an error that looks like the following:

    Problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete 
    correctly

    Error running C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_51/bin/java.exe-jar 
    "C:/Program Files (x86)\LDS Test Folder\biz.a.Qute.jpm.run.jar" 
    -u init: Error 0. Failed to run platform init, exit code -2137483648

Environment

  • Liferay Developer Studio

Resolution

  • This error will not prevent users from using Dev Studio, and the error indicates the liferay-workspace init failed. To workaround this error, use one of the following methods:
    • Deselect "Install command line tools" to only install Dev Studio
    • Create a Liferay workspace manually through Studio Wizards
    • Create a Liferay workspace manually by executing 'blade init'
    • Create a Liferay workspace manually by executing 'workspace installer'
