Transformer Exception in Studio when saving STV file

[dflachbart]

I am always getting the following exception

There was an error saving the file: tv.sage.b: kind=4; javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: java,io.FileNotFoundException:file:\D:\SageTV\SagetTV\STVs\SageTV3\test.xml (The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect

when trying to save a STV file in Studio. It's not an permission issue, the directory is writeable, and it happens on any directory.

I am using JDK 1.4.2_10, but I tried changing the PATH to a 1.5.0 JDK, without any difference. This only happens on my PC here at work (it shouldnt have anything to do with not having an encoder installed, does it ?).

Any ideas ?

Thanks,
Dirk

Never mind, after looking into the logfile I noticed that SageTV was still using JDK 1.5.0, although only 1.4.2 was in the PATH... After I uninstalled the 1.5 JDK the error went away.

Which raises another question for me - how does Sage determine which JDK to use if multiple versions are installed on the machine ?

The 'standard' way to determine the current JRE version is to read the reg for the key/value:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment]
CurrentVersion=1.5

Which points to:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.5]

Which contains the paths...don't know whether sage does the same...

The post here from Jeff indicates that that is almost where Sage gets it from.
