Message:  Error: could not open `F:\Temp DLP\Symantec_DLP_15.8_Platform_Win-IN_15.8.00000.19012\DLP\15.8\New_Installs\Release\OpenJDK8U-jre_x64_windows_hotspot_8u262b10\jdk8u262-b10-jre\lib\amd64\jvm.cfg' 

Cause

An Anti-virus or a security patch has removed files from the ServerJRE that DLP uses

Resolution

Reinstall or repair the ServerJRE

Open the \jdk8u262-b10-jre\lib\ folder and verify that the amd64 folder is present with jvm.cfg file in place.

- If missing, get the full jdk8u262-b10-jre folder from the DLP installation file and replace the old one on the Enforce server.

- Restart all the services again

- When services start running, you should be able to get the Enforce to load again.
