Failed to create sub-process. runcmd Avamar Administrator 6.1.1-87

x64 bit Windows 7.

I have Java 7 update 25 and Java 6 update 45 (32-bit for each) installed on this machine since I didn't think Avamar worked on 7 or something.

I've changed the Target for the shortcut to match either version, but I keep getting this Failed to create sub-process error.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\avs\administrator\6.1.1.87-new\bin\mcgui.bat" C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6

"C:\Program Files (x86)\avs\administrator\6.1.1.87-new\bin\mcgui.bat" C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7

I think my issue started when I installed a 64-bit version of Java 7, but I could be wrong.

I need some assistance with this. I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times already.

    It's been a year and I've figured out a solution for anyone who happens to be having this issue.

    For some reason on our Windows 7 image, 8.3 short filenames are disabled.

    What that means is C:\PROGRA~2 will not point to C:\Program Files (x86).

    It still is a ponder why Avamar doesn't run using C:\Program Files (x86), but the solution is below.

    Open a command prompt window & type the following to create a junction.

    mklink /j "C:\PROGRA~2" "C:\Program Files (x86)"

    Now open your Avamar Shortcut, and change it to the following

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\avs\administrator\7.0.2.47\bin\mcgui.bat" C:\PROGRA~2\Java\jre7

    where 7.0.2.47 depends on your version installed.

    I think this might have to do with how the batch file interprets the directory..

    Try changing:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7

    to

    C:\Progra~2\Java\jre7

    I just tried with the likes of what you have shown and get the same message, quotations made no difference as well.

    Nope that doesn't work.

    If you need to get in touch with support, the best way to do that is to open a service request. The support forum has no service level commitments.

    You may find the following thread helpful:

    Avamar GUI and JRE versions

    If the advice in this thread does not help, I would recommend opening a service request.

    I had the same issue with the latest Java Update.

    I discovered that the shortcut was specifically pointing to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6

    Changing the shortcut to read  C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_25  made it all work again for me.
