没有更多句柄[无法检测已注册的XULRunner使用]

Question

I am using SWT 3.7 to create an RCP application. Windows is my OS and IE is set as the default SWT browser. I want to change the default browser from IE to Mozilla. I've read a few articles and learned that by adding arguments to the eclipse.ini file ( -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla ) one can set the default SWT browser.

But after adding it to vm arguments (because when adding to the .ini file it is not doing anything), I get the error below:

org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles [Could not detect registered XULRunner to use]
    at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:4308)
    at org.eclipse.swt.browser.Mozilla.create(Mozilla.java:683)
    at org.eclipse.swt.browser.Browser.<init>(Browser.java:99)

The code is breaking on line:

Browser browser = new Browser(parent, SWT.None);

I have already downloaded xulrunner, ran the register command, checked in registry (it's there), added -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath="C://Program Files (x86)//Mozilla XULRunner//1.9.1//xulrunner" to vmargs but I still get the same error.

Can anyone help me on this issue?

Found this in the eclipse forum:

"Found the problem. I needed to do xulrunner --register-global as administrator. Since there is no difference in the xulrunner output, the only way to tell if the registration occurred is to look in HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\mozilla.org\\GRE"
