AnyLogic throws error upon start

Question

When trying to start AnyLogic, it throws the following error:

Failed to create Java Virtual Machine

AnyLogic isn't a programming tool, it's a simulation tool. Off-topic. — Erick G. Hagstrom, Mar 02 '16 at 14:37

Try these steps in order:

Try to restart your machine.
If that does not help, go into the AnyLogic installation folder (somewhere like C:/Program Files/AnyLogic 7 Professional/) and open the file AnyLogic.ini with an editor.
Replace the existing line "-Xmx1024M" with "-Xmx256M"
save & close.

That's going to vary based on your machine. http://stackoverflow.com/a/5374501/3280538 – flakes Mar 02 '16 at 14:10
good point, thx. So to solve the problem, you will want to *change* the existing value, most likely to a lower value. – Benjamin Mar 02 '16 at 14:12
Only if your issue is heap allocation. There could be a number of reasons why the JVM fails to load. – flakes Mar 02 '16 at 14:14
