Problem: when running form modules using Internet Explorer and JInitiator 1.3.1.x, the browser window opens and crashes immediately before the applet starts. When using Mozilla Firefox, there’s no problem at all.
Several notes on Metalink about this: 602001.1, 430359.1, 550301.1
The issue does not occur when using Sun JRE version 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6.
This issue is first logged as JInitiator Bug 5643502 – INTERNET EXPLORER WITH WINDOWS LIVE TOOLBAR PLUG-IN CRASHES, but based on Sun Bug 4741238, the bug occurs in JRE version 1.3 (JInitiator is based on JRE 1.3) and the bug is fixed in JRE versions 1.4 and higher.
Solution according the notes
To avoid the crash,
(1) Use Sun JRE 1.4 and higher
– OR –
(2) Uninstall Windows Live Toolbar (or other software what you suspect is the cause)
– OR –
(3) Disable the toolbar’s associated Add-ons as the following:
1. Open Internet Explorer
2. From the menu open Tools -> Manage Add-ons -> Enable or Disable Add-ons
3. Select the following Add-ons and disable each of them by clicking the “Disable” button
– Windows Live Sign-In Helper
– Windows Live Toolbar
– Windows Live Toolbar Helper
– Windows Messenger
4. Restart Internet Explorer
– OR –
(4) Disable 3rd-party browser extensions as follows:
– From the browser menu Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced
– Uncheck “Enable third-party browser extensions”
First I chose for the last option, the policy was changed by the Windows system administrators for all the clients in the network, and done.. But there were (un)expected side-affects, like a particular SSO-application could’nt be reached anymore. People didn’t appreciate this ;-)
So finally I went for a solution which isn’t in the note, but spread around the internet:
Copy the jvm.dll from
Your (directory)
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_07\bin\client (jre1.4.2 does work as well..)
to (directory)
C:\Program Files\Oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.22\bin\hotspot
Easy to distribute for the system-administrators and I’ve got enough time to go for a more structured approach, upgrading for example….
Copy the jvm.dll from
Your (directory)
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_07\bin\client (jre1.4.2 does work as well..)
to (directory)
C:\Program Files\Oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.22\bin\hotspot

Any one help me
Some old JRE/JVMs’ leave a jvm.dll in the Windows PATH.
Look for jvm.dll files outside regular JRE/JVM installation directories or old SUN-directories and rename or delete them.
That should do the trick.
You save my day
thanks,
Amit

Disabling the MS Live toolbars solved the problem for me. Thanks!
Hi..I am using window vista(Hp Laptop).When i am running forms 9i with internet explore 8 immediatly problem occurs and its closing..

Hi,
Replacing jvm.dll should do the trick. It’s only the art to find the right one. In your case I should try the solution mentioned in this other blog . Also the jvm.dll is supplied there.
Kind regards,
Job.

Thanks a lot for the solution. It has helped me to run the forms with webutil without the IE 8 crashing. I am sure it will be of help to many more. The copying of the jvm.dll from ..\java\.. folder to ..\oracle\.. has done the needful.
Thank you, disabling the add ons helped fix our problem.
Dont Worry abt Oracle Forms Issue :
Step 1 : Go to Control panel -> Internet Options (or) Open Internet Explorer -> Tools ->Internet Option
Step 2 : In Advance tab-> Reset
Step 3 : Install Jinitiator version morethan 1.3
Step 4 : Replace the jvm.dll file from the location[C:Program FilesOracleJInitiator 1.3.1.18binhotspot] with another jvm.dll file from the oracle forms working machine.
Step 5: Try to open form now, it wil take sometime to open inbetween it will ask you to install java.
Hope this will work for you :)
Thanks for this post, i will try that.
I have windows7 and IE9 or IE11 but application not run
required solution for the same
Moving dll works…
Thanks Sir
Convert your Oracle Forms client into a stand alone executable with ThinApplet Workspace or ThinApplet EXEJar.
Works for Windows 8 and Java 8
I have windows 2012 and IE11 but form servlet is still not working.
Need your help to fix the same.
I am trying to install oracle jinitiator, but it stops installing, and I can’t figure out the reason, no error messages.
For me it’s ancient history and I don’t know your environment. But just thinking outloud: are you local admin / a failed installation before (delete jinitiator directory) / spyware/adware/adblocker stuff / another java installed on your system (in the old days java 1.5 seemed not compatible with Jiniator).
