Key,

Something may be mistaking it for a zip and saving it with that extension (AFAIK, it's a raw JAR file). See if you can knock of the zip extension and let Java run it correctly. Otherwise, it may be getting mangled during the save somehow. ???

Good Luck,

George

I tried removing the dot zip after it had landed but still no luck
I have launched the JRE installer and as far as I know it completed successfully.
... the dot JAR file doesn't launch.

I don't know what I'm supposed to see or what to do next.

[EDIT]
this is all fixed now

Hiya,

Im havingsome trouble with opening MIOS Studio. At the moment im using a G3 PPC OSX 10.3.9 with plumstone installed as per their instructions. When I load it the MIOS Studio title screen comes up but goes no further. Anyone seen this before? I should also mention I am running the stealth midi driver so I can use my roland serial midi outputs and inputs.

Thanks,

John

IIRC under 10.3.x you have follow these steps to make JAVA5 the default surrounding for apps:

;)

With 10.4.x this has changed.

Hi,

just a short note for people making the same mistake like me:

Always look at the first post in this thread to find the newest MIOS Studio version - 7_4 is not the newest anymore

Is it just me or is the link to the download broken? I get "404 - Wrong Page 194.132.104.253"...

[strophlex]

After some trial and error i found the file at

http://miosstudio.mi...beta7_5.jar.zip

It is a zip file containing MIOSStudio_beta7_5.jar

mios studio doesn't work for me :(  installed JRE5.0 rev16, after i run mios studio, everything loooks ok .. i select midi device .. turn on midi in / out monitors ... i have core v3 connected with bootstrap loader .. but no initial sysex received .. when i turn on MIDI-OX, core's initial sysex is received correctly each 2 seconds .. it looks mios doesn't work with my midi device ..

i have windows vista home premium (32bit)

[stryd_one]

i have windows vista

There's your first mistake.

How does your machine work with other java based midi apps?

[dendy]

i think vista isn't bad choice ;-) many apps (for example steinberg cubase 4) works better than with XP ... but that's discussion for other thread ;-)

to you question - i use else ZEND STUDIO (a php developing ide), which is too runing on java, and withou any problem - everything works fine ..

Does it transmit midi?

[dendy]

no - it hasn't nothing to do with audio/midi - its editor/ide for php programming

anyway it's not a big problem that mios studio doesn't work under vista for me for now - i converted all .hex to .syx and uploaded them via midi-ox ..

Exactly. Try a java based midi app.

That's not recommended.

MIOS Studio doesn't wok under Vista? Crap. Bugfight, get cracking on the MSfW :-)

no ....it's ... that mios studio doesn't work under vista for me for now

MSfW?

Do we really care if it works under vista anyway? So far dendy is the only one to use it around here that I know of ... Sorry dendy this next part isn't aimed at you in particular, it's just my professional opinion (and that of the majority of large corporations through to small businesses and government departments the world over)

Vista is for monkeys. With the amount of teething problems it has, you are looking at a couple of hours on average, possibly much, much more, to get your apps working. It offers little advantage if any, and the machine required to run vista would outperform it when running XP as the reduced overheads contribute to the performance of the XP box. Taking into account the few corner cases where apps are specifically written with vista in mind and may outperform the same box running XP, you still have to spend those couple of hours and possibly much more, getting your apps to work. If you have a job, you're better off just buying a faster CPU with that time/money, than to spend that time/money fighting bugs.

This may change in the future (I'm sure it will, if only when Win7 comes along) but right now, those are the facts. Vista is time/money (same thing) ineffective. Hence, vista is for monkeys.

really,

woix on my win2k box/vista box... and on my macs... microsquash... GET OVER JAVA!!!!

my 2 cents... sorry

I've been running Mios Studio and MidiOx successfully, for several months, on XP_Pro SP2 and have had no problems at all until........ I installed Nokia suite for my 6288 Mobile. This also, apparently, runs under java. Now, everytime I try to load Mios Studio, I get, guess what...Nokia Suite. The only immediate answer I could find was to uninstall Nokia. Anyone got any Ideas ?

[stryd_one]

Greaaat.

Step 1 - Talk to Nokia

How do you launch MIOS Studio? Does the installer add a new version of the JRE to your machine? Is there a custom installation procedure that allows you to avoid that? More info, please

Vista is time/money (same thing) ineffective. Hence, vista is for monkeys.

I don't want to derail this thread to much, but I'd say that your statement is a pretty strong generalization. For us monkeys wanting to use all of our 8gbs of RAM, and still use Windows, the 64-bit versions of Vista is the only effective way to go really. One could use XP 64-bit but there tends to be less good drivers for that OS.
Vista 64-bit sure isn't always that pleasant with its forced driver system and whatnot but for the hardware and purposes I use it for it's still the only effective way to go.

However I can agree that Vista compatibility probably isn't the most important thing for MIOS Studio since monkeys like me still are in a minority. I really can't see why it shouldn't work however and I'll give it a test as soon as my Midibox has taken a more assembled form.
