Crucial Storage Executive, Java Access Bridge, & (possibly) NVDA

[britechguy]

I have encountered this issue with Crucial Storage Executive in the past and I was virtually certain that I had asked about it here on Technibble, but I cannot seem to find anything via search. I even searched other computer forums where I thought I had asked and can find nothing. Somewhere, at some point in the past, I was given a fix for this, but I just can't find it, even in my own records.

I just installed Crucial Storage Executive Version 7.12 on the machine I'm sending this message from last night. When I fire up the software, all I get is the splash screen and nothing else. The following is written to its log:

I can't for the life of me even guess why not finding Java Access Bridge should be enough to make the software abort, but it does.

I believe that NVDA, which is on my machine as well, has Java Access Bridge bundled as part of its installer (and I'm verifying this but haven't finished, yet) so it should be on the machine. That being said, the following three files were installed by Crucial Storage Executive and the full paths are shown:
C:\Program Files\Crucial\Crucial Storage Executive\java\bin\JavaAccessBridge-64.dll
C:\Program Files\Crucial\Crucial Storage Executive\java\bin\JAWTAccessBridge-64.dll
C:\Program Files\Crucial\Crucial Storage Executive\java\bin\WindowsAccessBridge-64.dll

while what NVDA installs is a single file:
C:\Program Files (x86)\NVDA\lib\2022.1\windowsaccessbridge-32.dll

There was some sort of workaround that I was given to make Crucial Storage Executive successfully fire up, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was or find any record of it. If anyone has any ideas, fire away.

Might the below, if you haven't already seen it, get you started?

Thanks!! I had not tripped over this and following those instructions allows Crucial Storage Executive to complete firing up.

The sad thing is that Crucial's own tech support didn't know this, either.

Great to hear!
