DOORS : Win32Shell failed: OLE problem: The system cannot find the file specified


Win32Shell failed: OLE problem: The system cannot find the file specified

   Recently I had a tough time with an error while exporting a DOORS module with the "Documentation Export" feature is IBM DOORS.
The problem was when I selected  File -> Export -> Document Generation -> Export, I get the DXL error as below.


 I tried with all the option of checking the registry. But i found the solution accidentally.


Possible Solution : 
Since the DOORS installation was a 64 bit version, I had to install a 64 bit Java and update the path to the System Variable "JAVA_HOME".
I hope this helps you.

Update 05.12.2016:
Also check if there are multiple JAVA Runtime installations. There could both x86 and 64-bit JAVA installations which could conflict and still create this issue.
One solution for this is to install 32-bit DOORS version and an appropriate JAVA Runtime.


P.S: All 64bit installations are in the folder "c:\program files" for 64 bit OS


 
DOORS version : 9.6.1.6  (64 bit version)
OS : Windows 7
