Java VM - DCEVM updates for JDK 8

Question

I am using Oracle HotSpot JVM 1.8 u121.

Although it says that the the light distro is available here

http://dcevm.github.io/

It doesn't look like it works with JDK 1.8. I tried to install it and it gives me the following error:

Error: missing `decvm' JVM at `C:\jdk1.8.0\jre\bin\decvm\jvm.dll'.
Please install or use the JRE or JDK that contains these missing components.

My JDK is fully functional, so nothing is wrong here. Does anyone know if DCEVM is supposed to work with JDK 8 at all?

Regards,

I got it working working with Oracle's JDK 1.8, and had a similar issue. For me, I needed to re-run the DCEVM installer jar ensure that 'Replaced by DCDEVM?' and also 'Installed altjvm?' are both Yes. After that it worked.
