After installing either IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software v7.x or Rational Functional Tester v8.0, attempts to start fails with the error "Could not create the Java virtual machine". This problem has also been observed when installing Rational Software Development Platform (RSDP) products such as the above two.
The following Java Virtual Machine Launcher error dialog shows when attempting to start Rational Application Developer:
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
You may also encounter a JVM error termination pop-up
with
