folks, I'm using jni to bridge some c libs I've managed to load the libs in my local windows machine by starting the jvm with -Djava.library.path=C:\example\libs and using System.loadLibrary. However I created a vm in the cloud and installed an identical windows os on it. But I cannot get the java to load the dll's it…

folks,

I'm using jni to bridge some c libs

I've managed to load the libs in my local windows machine by starting the jvm with -Djava.library.path=C:\example\libs and using System.loadLibrary.

However I created a vm in the cloud and installed an identical windows os on it. But I cannot get the java to load the dll's it tells me it cannot find them (UnsatisfiedLinkError) when they are clearly there. so whats up ?

Has anyone any idea why this might be happening ?

Thanks in advance

Is the new Windows version the same 32/64 bit version as on the original PC?
Is the new Java JRE the same 32/64 bit version as on the original PC?
Is the DLL 32 or 64 bit ?

That's ignoring the other simpler options, like you have the DLL in the wrong directory, spaces in the directory names etc.
