#8 Cannot find JAR files when running RecordEdit

[Anonymous]

I have JAVA 8 installed on my PC and I installed the current version of RecordEditor. It appears to install OK but when I launch RecordEditor, it displays popup that it is searching javaw.exe file and gives me option to locate file myself. I browse to it and select it, then another error saying JARs are missing (See attachment.). Do I need to do some specific configuration in RecordEdit for JAVA? Thanks.

Which OS: Windows ???
Which Version of the RecordEditor: 0.98.4 ???

Assuming windows

• If you have not restarted since the install, shut down and restart the computer

• go to directory C:\Program Files (x86)\RecordEdit\HSQL\lib

• right click on RunUnpack.exe and run as administrator - you will not see anything
• right click on runFullEditor.jar and select open. It should start the RecordEditor ???
• Exit the RecordEditor
• Try running the RecordEditor on the Menu.

If the above fails try doing another RecordEditor install; won't do any harm

If still having troubles

• try downloading the USB version from https://sourceforge.net/projects/record-editor/files/Test/Version_0.98.4/

• unzip it in a normal folder and try running

Please let me know how you get on !!!

Environment:
- Windows 7
- RecordEditor_HSQL (0.98.4)

I tried what you suggested by opening the jar file and it
worked OK. I ended up uninstalling it and using
the USB version and everything seems to be OK now.

I installed this same RecordEditor version on a Windows 8 PC
and it worked OK, maybe this is a Windows 7 quirk.

Thanks for your timely and helpful reply.

Windows 7 should not be the issue, did you install Java and then install the RecordEditor straight after ???

Windows 7 already had several versions of Java installed on it before the RecordEditor install.

Multiple Java versions is like;y the problem; will look at using Launch4J more
