Re: [Orbiscad-users] How to install orbisCAD on Windows

[<fer...@gm...>]

Hi Jonathan,

I have just downloaded OrbisCAD and launched it without any problem. JAI
isn't needed because OrbisCAD already comes with JRE so I can't figure out
what's going on.

Usually that behaviour takes place when the bat file is wrong and doesn't
reference the correct libraries. I remember I uploaded a release with a typ=
o
in the .bat with the same behaviour you're reporting but I replaced that
version shortly after that. Can you please send us the bat file an a listin=
g
of the OrbisCAD root directory?

greetings
