I am trying to run apex data loader downloaded and installed from my SalesForce account. But when I try to run the jar from command prompt with this command

java -jar dataloader-29.0.0-uber.jar

I get this error

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Cannot load 32-bit SWT libraries on 64-bit JVM
    at org.eclipse.swt.internal.Library.loadLibrary(Library.java:263)

    at com.salesforce.dataloader.controller.Controller.createAndShowGUI(Controller.java:207)
    at com.salesforce.dataloader.process.DataLoaderRunner.main(DataLoaderRunner.java:45)

I am not even running from eclipse , but why I see below line in the exception ??

  • Did the shortcut solution work for you?

  • Sorry it didn't ! I have set the path to 32 bit JRE came along with the data loader and run it using java -jar dataloader-29.0.0-uber.jar

I have DataLoader running on 64bit Windows 8.

The best way to do this is

  1. create a shortcut to the jar file (right click on it in Windows explorer and select 'create shortcut')
  2. Then change the properties of the shortcut so the working directory is a valid directory your user can write to.

The problem is that you have a 64 bit version of Java installed

One solution to this is to add the "-d32" argument to force the JRE into 32 bit mode.

java -jar -d32 dataloader-29.0.0-uber.jar

Or you could install a 32 bit version of Java.

  • Or running it from a shortcut works for me, where I don't have 32 bit version of Java installed and the -d32 argument also doesn't work.
