Java – Sybase Central issues on 64-bit Windows 2008 Server R2

I can install and run Sybase Central v 4.3 on Windows XP without issues.

However, I am not so lucky when I use 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2. It does install but it will not run. I tried running in compatibility mode (Win XP) but it did not work.

Anybody who solved this issue feel free to share your workaround.

Thank you!

EDIT: This command launches it:

"C:\sybase_15\Shared\Sybase Central 4.3\win32\scjview.exe"

EDIT: This describes the problem:
