Thanks everyone. Running "setup -ignoresysprereqs" or "setup -ignoresysprereqs -debug" without setting compatibility doesn't make any difference. Setting compatibility, it doesn't even launch the OUI GUI. With -debug, the console window shows starting JVM right before the window disappears (i.e. closes).

I find the error log at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\hs_err_pid<pid>.log:

#
# An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:
#
#  EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x0000000008178d75, pid=5208, tid=4648

# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (1.5.0_11-b03 mixed mode)
# Problematic frame:

#

...
VM state:not at safepoint (normal execution)

VM Mutex/Monitor currently owned by a thread: None ...

But I can't find anything on Google or MOS about that hex location inside jvm.dll. There's a Sun JVM bug for Solaris about signal 11. The developer can work around it by lowing memory usage of JVM with his code, but unfortunately, not with -Xmx setting.

I use Process Monitor to filter on javaw.exe process. Right before the process creates the hs_err_pid log, it tries to find DownBtn.GIF without success. But I doubt that's the real cause.

I'll try two more things: use -jreLoc to point to a newer JRE (current version is 1.5.0); find the correct xml file and lower -Xmx setting.
