    Very unlikely.
    I'll probably bundle the Oracle JRE with the windows MSI in future FullSync releases.
    The ZIP download will still be available for those that want to do something nonstandard anyway.

    Same problem here with Zulu VM 11 -> https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu-community/?&architecture=x86-64-bit&package=jdk

    Does not work - why??

    When i try to start launcher.jar, i get that message:

    java -jar launcher.jar launching FullSync... OS=win32-win32; ARCH=x86_64; INSTALLLOCATION=file:/C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/FullSync/FullSync/

    ...and nothing happens anymore, the console will continue waiting for that next command.

    No Window that opens, nothing...

    Thx for feedback.

    With best regards, Jan

      Hello Jan,
      The version of FullSync installed by the windows installer is 32bit only. The Java VM you use is 64 bit, thus FullSync doesn't start.
      Also I'm not sure if the released FullSync version will run with Java 11.

      Also I suggest using the semi official OpenJDK builds from https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html istead of Zulu. On that page select OpenJDK 8, HotSpot for Windows x86.

      If you prefer to use a 64bit Java VM you can get FullSync with 64bit support by using the "FullSync without Installer" variant for Windows from https://fullsync.sourceforge.io/download.php

      I don't have a windows install at hand to test this out right now, but I guess you don't need my help for that anyway :)

      If you run into any problems with that OpenJDK build please let me know!

      Also as a side note: Future FullSync for Windows installers will likely switch to 64bit and bundle an appropriate OpenJDK verison from AdoptOpenJDK :)

      Br,
      Christoph
