[Scilab-users] Scilab 5.5.0 definitely doesn't work on Windows7 Ultimate 64-bit

[Fausto Arinos de A. Barbuto]

Hello,

Neither 32- nor the 64-bit versions of Scilab 5.5.0 seem to like this computer and it's
64-bit W7 Ultimate OS.  The installs go fine, but when I start Scilab up all it does
is to flash its GUI for a tenth of a second and then vanishes.  Task Manager says it's
not there either running on the background yet invisible or not responding.

What could that problem be?  Can anyone help?  Have any of you had this problem
before?  What other packages not self-contained in the installer do I need?  I have
Java 8 64-bit, would that be the problem?  Does Scilab generate an error log report
I could post here/somewhere to get some insight on the problem?

Many thanks in advance.

Fausto
