Zend Studio 5.5 and Windows 7

I could not switch to Eclipse. But I switched to Windows 7, since the release of 7000, and I am completely happy with it. At one time I ran into a problem that strained me very much: the version of Zend Studio 5.5 stubbornly did not want to work under W7 correctly. The reason was clear: the problem was the incorrect continuity of the JRE versions.



Below I describe the sequence of actions that need to be done in order for Zend Studio 5.5 to work for you. Perhaps someone will be useful. This is my first habrapost, so I put it in a personal blog, nowhere else to shove his karma is not enough. :(

1. Download and install the latest JRE for Windows. Link

2. Unpack the Zend Studio installer file using WinRAR.

3. In the Windows \ resource subdirectory, change the name of the jre directory to jre backup.

4. Copy C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Java \ jre6 to the resource folder and rename “jre6” to “jre”.

5. Run the Zend Studio installer, and install the program. The exe file for the installation in the archive that we already send is called ZendStudio-5_5_1.exe.

6. After installation, copy “jre backup” to your C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Java and rename it to jre6.

7. If you still have problems with the display of the interface, then in the properties of the shortcut, specify the compatibility mode with Vista.

Everything should work as it should.

I would be glad if it helped someone.
