soap ui will not start

Hello,

I have been using soap ui for quite a while.  One day it stopped starting for some reason, I am not sure why.  I download the newest version and it is having the same problem.  It is probably something else on my machine that is preventing it, but I can not figure out what it is.  When I execute the batch file I get the following output:

C:\Program Files\soapui-2.5\bin>soapui.bat

The splash screen appears, but after that nothing.  Does anybody have any idea what may help?

Thanks,
Danny

    Hi Danny,

    this looks odd; soapUI seems to be trying to load a project as a wsdl!? Can you attach the default-soapui-workspace.xml file so I can have a look?

    (also, if you rename it to something else, soapUI will create a new empty workspace and should start ok)

    regards,

    Hi Ole,

    I did not think to look at the default workspace file that it was trying to load.  It was trying to load a web service wsdl I was working on for a while (which is no longer running locally on my box).  I removed this item and it loaded up fine. 

    Thanks!
