STM32CubeProgrammer won't start up

Hi, I've just installed v2.14.0 for the first time, but it will not start up. All I get is the blue STM screen for a few second, then it disappears. I tried the command prompt start up detailed in This Post but I end up with an error message, shown below. I need help on how to proceed as I do not have JRE installed on my PC, but have had it in the past. I've tried re-installing STM32... but that didn't help

To resolve this issue you may do one of the following:
- remove or uninstall the offending library
- set the system property jna.nosys=true
- set jna.boot.library.path to include the path to the version of the
jnidispatch library included with the JNA jar file you are using

Never mind, I found the problem. Another app in PATH was causing the error.

What was the issue? and how did you solve it?

Guessing by changing the PATH ordering?

Start by showing the error YOU GOT rather than me-tooing a prior post

The error the OP reports seems to suggest it's pulling some old SUN JAVA runtime, perhaps not Oracles, or the one provided by ST.

What can also cause STM32 Cube Programmer to hang up if you have used a .BIN / .HEX on some un-mapped network drive, or it otherwise can't find this time around.

There's a configuration file within the User's AppData directory for the tool.

Issue is STM32Cube programmer does not start

Issue is fixed by adding -Djna.nosys=true in the new line in C:\Program Files\STMicroelectronics\STM32Cube\STM32CubeProgrammer\bin\STM32CubeProgrammer.l4j.ini

My problem was due to another app called filebot having an old or incompatible version of java. It was listed in Windows PATH variables before the new java entries, so it was causing java errors. I no longer used filebot, so just uninstalled it.

I've gotten this issue recently after upgrading from 2.16 to 2.17 by using the built-in updater.

After trying many things, my only solution is to delete the STM32CubeProgrammer folder under C:\Users\<username>\STMicroelectronics\STM32CubeProgrammer
