New PC, cannot connect to IB (Error msg)

[Stok]

Trying to connect to IB, I get this message:

Login failed: Can't find Java executable at 'C:\Windows\system32\..\SysWOW64\javaw.exe'.

This is Win 7, 64 bit.

And TWS is running with latest version using Mosaic layout.

Hello Stok,


Thank you for your forum post.


The error message you receive regarding javaw.exe is an expected error when launching TWS on a 64-bit version of Windows.

You can resolve the error by copying the javaw.exe file into your C:\Windows\System32 folder.

• Navigate to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin
• Copy "javaw.exe"
• Navigate to: C:\Windows\System32
• Paste the "javaw.exe" file

In regards to the version of TWS you have installed, NinjaTrader will require TWS version 927.7. You can download this version from the link below:

• http://www.ninjatrader.com/ninjatrad...tall_927_7.exe

When using the Mosaic interface, the Advanced Order Management (TWS) window must be open to both configure the connection and connect with NinjaTrader.



As per the image below, select "New Window> Advanced Order Management (TWS)"

Ok, I do not have the Java folder under C:\Program Files (x86)

Ideas? (And yes, Java is running on this PC)

I am running TWS 933.5....so I need to downgrade?
