Good afternoon !!!!
I had the same exact problem the publisher described, and tried everything !!!, but after having feedback from different friends, I did the next steps:
Before starting... my environment was working OK (everything, if possible was installed in 64bits), until some web page required 32bits JRE, I downloaded it and installed it, after this, glassfish just went crazy and started doing what is described in this discussion. I did lots of test, installing, uninstalling, unzipping and deleting JDK, Glassfish versions.... nothing worked until one friend told to search in the users (due to thar every version of glassfish just crashed) folder; In here I searched for every folder names "java" or "Oracle" and I found in the route:
- C:\Users\\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment
The file "deployment.properties", Inside I found a properties:
1. deployment.javaws.jre.0.path=C\:\\Program Files (x86)\\Java\\jre7\\bin\\javaw.exe
2. deployment.javaws.jre.1.path=C\:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7\\bin\\javaw.exe
Then I deleted property 1
(deployment.javaws.jre.0.path=C\:\\Program Files (x86)\\Java\\jre7\\bin\\javaw.exe)
and modified property 2 to:
+ deployment.javaws.jre.0.path=C\:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7\\bin\\javaw.exe
That just resolved the problem !! Hope this can help you guys.
