I created a Java project in Netbeans that runs without issue on my computer (both in Netbeans and from running the jar file), but when I try to run the project on another computer I get the following error message:

A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x0000000062478337, pid=2860, tid=0x0000000000000e84

I've searched for similar issues but I can't seem to find anything that matches my error, so I'm not sure what to do. I can post the full error log if need be. If no one can figure it out, can someone at least point me in the right direction (is it a memory issue, do I need to update Java, etc)?

According to hs_err_pid.log the crash has happened inside the native method com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.AuthenticationJNI.SNISecGenClientContext which apparently belongs to MSSQL JDBC driver.

The most interesting part of crash dump is the line
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_112\bin\sqljdbc_auth.dll

Obviously, sqljdbc_auth.dll does not belong to JRE. Looks like this file was copied manually to JRE directory. This is wrong, and most likely the reason of the crash. You have to install MSSQL JDBC driver correctly and set -Djava.library.path JVM argument to point to the directory with driver native libraries.
