Startup-Bug v3.18.1 -> where to find an older, but running version?

0 votes
Hello, I suffer also with the init-Bug in 3.18.1 as I responded to the popup to update when startet my old (working) installation. Unfortunately I didn't retain the old setup.exe, because I always thought, I could download it at any time. But I only see the buggy version. Could you provide me a hint where to find old builds or an external mirror or just send me a setup working?

The error you are experiencing is not a yEd problem but a Java 10 issue. Thus you can resolve this problem by following the instructions in Cannot start yEd 3.18.1 because of java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: <init> - i.e. download and install the Java 8 based installer.

In any case, we do not offer old versions of yEd for download.

I tried this Version, too. But same happening. Do I have to configure manually some path, yED-proprietary Java_home or so?

No, you do not have to configure anything.

However, you are the first person to experience this problem with Java 8. Thus I would like to ask you to send us the error report generated by yEd. Please include a short comment so we can associate the report to this thread.

Moreover, it would be fantastic if you could do a diagnostics run as explained in Cannot start yEd 3.18.1 because of java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: <init> and send us the result. I would also like to ask you if you have other Java installations on your machine? Especially, is there a Oracle\Java\javapath subdirectory anywhere on your C: drive?

Thank you very much for sending your error report. You are right, the Java 8 installer does not work either (due to an error on our side it is actually not a Java 8 installer at all). We have fixed the installer and replaced the yEd-3.18.1_with-JRE8_64-bit_setup.exe file on the yEd download site. Unfortunately, this means that you have to uninstall, download, and install yEd once again. I am very sorry for the inconvenience.
