Resolution

This may happen if the installation has been moved. Policystudio.ini contains the path of some Equinox launcher JAR files and if it cannot find them, it will not be able to open. Either correct the paths to point to the JARs or delete policystudio.ini entirely and allow Policy Studio to recreate the file to correct this. If you delete the file, be sure to redo any necessary customization (e.g. changes to Java heap size).
