Hello,

Recently few developers faced a problem of Tizen IDE failing to launch.

The error message read as

Java was started but returned exit code=13

Mostly this behavior was noticed after Java 1.8.0_66 update on Windows7 64-bit machine – The IDE refuses to open.

This happens mainly due to:
1. Incompatible sdk and jdk versions
2. Using a 32 bit Java version for your 64 bit Windows System

The solution is to install java for a 64-bit machine manually and not rely on update process as it by default installs a 32-bit version.

This will solve your problem. Thought it would be a good idea to share this information.

Regards,

Alok
