This is just some tips to help along. It'll be a repository of Frequently Asked Questions and Help Tips that we've encountered a lot.
Windows Installations
- Vista & Win7 (32 & 64 versions) Install and Running
- If you are running 64-bit versions of Vista or Win7, the bat file may not find JAVA. You may have to hard-code the path to java.exe. To edit those either Right Click on my Computer -> Properties -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables OR Control Panel -> System -> Advanced Syystem Settings -> Environment Variables.
- NEED EXACT WORDING FOR JAVA or JAVA_HOME <<<
- If you're using the BAT, feel free to up the memory usage. I have mine set to 512 and 1028 (Just edit the bat file in a text editor). Set the memory to what your system can handle.
- Install in a NON-default directory (not c:\program files) Vista and Win7 seem to have directory permission issues at times. (Especially Win7) The UAC in both can cause problems in some cases.
- Setting the Permission of the FOLDER to the highest level can help
- 5.17.0 onward have an exe file that solves the JAVA issue.
- Make sure you have a current version of JAVA installed (Not normally an issue for Windows Users)
