Description

Resolution:
SYMPTOMS:
---------------
- If this is a fresh install, right after installation the Hawk Configuration Utility comes up but after that we can't invoke it using Start menu or cmd line.
- If you try to start any of the Hawk services (Display, Configuration Utility, Agent, etc) it gives Application Error, which states that The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000007b).
- If you use commands to run any of the .exe files under &ltHawkdir>/bin, it dies immediately with the same error message.
- Trying the command below gives the same results. (This is the output of tibhawkdisplay.exe -d on a healthy installation)

C:/Program Files/Java/jre1.5.0_09/bin/java.exe"  -Xrs -cp C:/tibco/ems/clients/java/jms.jar;C:/tibco/ems/clients/java/tibjms.jar;C:/tibco/ems/clients/java/tibrvjms.jar;C:/tibco/ems/clients/java/tibcrypt.jar;C:/tibco/ems/clients/java/jaxp.jar;C:/tibco/hawk/lib;C:/tibco/hawk/lib/workbench.jar;C:/tibco/hawk/lib/utilities.jar;C:/tibco/hawk/lib/util.jar;C:/tibco/hawk/lib/talon.jar;C:/tibco/hawk/lib/spot.jar;C:/tibco/hawk/lib/security.jar;C:/tibco/hawk/lib/rvutils.jar;C:/tibco/hawk/lib/publisher.jar;C:/tibco/hawk/lib/crimson.jar;C:/tibco/hawk/lib/mail.jar;C:/tibco/hawk/lib/activation.jar;C:/tibco/hawk/lib/perltools.jar;C:/tibco/hawk/lib/jkitgo.jar;C:/tibco/hawk/lib/jcchart.jar;C:/tibco/hawk/lib/event.jar;C:/tibco/hawk/lib/display.jar;C:/tibco/hawk/lib/console.jar;C:/tibco/hawk/lib/config.jar;C:/tibco/hawk/lib/ami.jar;C:/tibco/hawk/lib/agent.jar;C:/tibco/tibrv/lib/tibrvj.jar;C:/Program Files/Java/jre1.5.0_09/lib/rt.jar;C:/tibco/tibrv/LIB/tibrvj.jar" -Dhawk.hawk_root="C:/tibco/hawk" COM.TIBCO.hawk.display.HawkDisplay  -hawk_domain "" -rvd_session 7474 ; tcp:7474 -log_format default -character_encoding UTF-8

- Using WinDbg to run tibhawkagentnt.exe showed that it stopped after loading    c:\Program Files\Reflection\LIBEAY32.dll. The correct one is located at
   C:\tibco\tibrv\BIN\LIBEAY32.dll.

RESOLUTION:
----------------
Modify the System Path (Select Start-&gtControl Panel, then System, then Advanced, then Environment Variables-&gtPath). Put c:\tibco\tibrv\bin before the c:\Program Files\Reflection and reboot the system.
