Help! Aptana crashed (on Windows) and when I try to re-start, only the splash screen appears for a minute, and then disappears.

We've seen this issue periodically with Windows users. If you experience this issue, try the following workaround:

  1. Navigate to the folder where you have Aptana Studio installed (usually under C:\ Program Files), and find the jre folder.
  2. Re-name the jre folder to jre.old.
  3. If you have another instance of the latest JRE installed on your machine, skip to the last step.
  4. Download and install a new instance of the JRE from the java web page:

  5. Start Aptana Studio.

If the above workaround does not fix the problem, please file a support ticket in ASAP.
