Thank you that you guys are interested in my issue. I am very begginer, so it makes me confused. I appreciate your help in advance.

Installation was completed properly, but I cannot run the program. When I double-click the icon at desktop, nothing happens. Even I try to open the program in console mode, it closes itself right after open DOS window. Could you give me any comments or suggestions?

Regards,
Jongone

    Hi,

    can you check the 'C:\Users\XYZ\.RapidMiner5' folder for a 'rm.log' file and posts its content here?
    If there is none or it is empty, please press 'Windows+R' on your keyboard, enter 'cmd', press 'Enter'. Then navigate to the folder you installed RapidMiner to, for example via 'cd "C:\Program Files\Rapid-I\RapidMiner5\scripts"'. Then enter 'RapidMinerGUI.bat', press 'Enter' again and post the text that appears here.

    Regards,
    Marco

    Thank you Marco for your quick response.

    Here is the captured image.

    Hi,

    it seems you are lacking the required amount of memory. How much do you have?

    Regards,
    Marco
  • todd1313todd1313 Member Posts: 7 Contributor II
    It is 3.25GB(I think it means 4GB).
    Do I need to add more memory?

    Best,

  • Marco_BoeckMarco_Boeck Administrator, Moderator, Employee, Member, University Professor Posts: 1,996 RM Engineering
    Hi,

    no that is more than enough to start RapidMiner (though your actual workflow might need much more later on ;D).
    Can you try navigating to your RapidMiner/scripts folder, open the RapidMinerGUI.bat file with a text editor, edit the line 'MAX_JAVA_MEMORY=XYZ' so it says 'MAX_JAVA_MEMORY=1024' and try to start RapidMiner by double-clicking this very .bat file? It might be that the RapidMiner.exe for some reason uses not enough memory, and by starting RapidMiner with this script instead gives you full control over how much memory is available to RapidMiner.

    Regards,
    Marco

    Hi Marco,

    Unfortunately, the script is already like what you posted. Such as the below,

    rem ##########################################
    rem ###                                    ###
    rem ###  Setting Maximal Amount of Memory  ###
    rem ###                                    ###
    rem ##########################################

    if "%MAX_JAVA_MEMORY%"=="" set MAX_JAVA_MEMORY=1024

    Do you have any other trial solutions? I always appreciate to your help.

    Best regards,
    Jongone
  • Marco_BoeckMarco_Boeck Administrator, Moderator, Employee, Member, University Professor Posts: 1,996 RM Engineering
    Hi,

    is your 'MAX_JAVA_MEMORY' system variable set on your system? You can see if that is the case via typing 'echo %MAX_JAVA_MEMORY%' into the commandline. If so, you may need to edit the value of the variable.
    If not, please try starting the RapidMinerGUI.bat script with an additional commandline parameter: '-XX:MaxHeapSize=256m'. This sets the heap size java has available.
    Please also note that you cannot use more than ~1400MB of memory for RapidMiner if you are using Windows 32-bit because of various limitations.

    Regards,
    Marco
  • todd1313todd1313 Member Posts: 7 Contributor II
    Hi,

    There is no 'echo %MAX_JAVA_MEMORY%' and '-XX:MaxHeapSize=256m' commandlines. Just to inform you, I copy and paste the whole RapidMinerGUI.bat script below.

    Hi,

    please press 'Windows Key + R', then type 'cmd' and press 'Enter'. Afterwards type 'echo %MAX_JAVA_MEMORY%' and press 'Enter' again, and see if it just comes back as '%MAX_JAVA_MEMORY%' or as for example '256'. If you get a value, it means on your system the global system variable MAX_JAVA_MEMORY is set to a potentially too low value, which you would need to edit and change (as you did inside the script).
    If you do not get a value, you will have to try the other suggestion:
    Navigate to your RapidMiner/scripts folder within the commandline, for example via 'cd "C:\Program Files\Rapid-I\RapidMiner\scripts"' and then enter 'RapidMinerGUI.bat -XX:MaxHeapSize=256m' and press 'Enter' and see if that helps.

    Regards,
    Marco

    I didn't get a value and did what you informed me. It seems that it still does not work. Please check the below.

    Hi,

    generally speaking, the problem is caused when Java cannot find enough free memory to allocate for use. So my best guess is that you do not have enough free memory available. Apart from that, I'm also at a loss what might be causing your problem, I'm afraid..

    Regards,
    Marco
  • todd1313todd1313 Member Posts: 7 Contributor II
    Hi Marco,

    I got it. I will figure out the available memory. or re-set up window or use other com.
    I really appreciate your help, Marco.
