Onset HOBOware under Wine (Issue with a Windows/Java hybrid)

Post by mrpaul »

I'm trying to get HOBOware Pro (http://www.onsetcomp.com/products/software/), a tool that interfaces with a USB based datalogger, to work under Wine.

I have installed it, and it fails with the message:

Code: Select all

Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
This seems to be fairly common among Java apps, and the solution appears to be setting -Xms & -Xmx parameters when calling Java. However, this app seems to be a blend of Windows (lots of DLLs) and Java, and it looks like the call to instantiate the java portion is hard-coded. I've snooped through the ini file and some other text based files, and not found anything obvious that would let me adjust the memory settings.

Any ideas on how I might be able to get this app to work? (It has a 30 day free trial if anyone is inclined to try it).

I ran a wine trace and can post that if it would be helpful.

TIA - Mr Paul
