1) The PATH setting is not for executable(filespecs), but for folders(folderspecs) (to be scanned for a executable)
- Low knowledge level readers will take what you say literary, potentially triggering a bunch of additional "Its not working for me" reply's.
Good point2) Java path is not needed in the PATH setting ... (if java is correctly installed.)
- I for one can't get it to fail in finding javaw(.exe), or java(.exe) for that matter. (no java path in PATH, and not using a full Path in java call.). Hell even using "start java ... etc" did not fail.
Are you sure it wasn't added to your PATH during installation? Checked both the system and user PATH?
It's my understanding that you need to be in the same folder as the executable or have the folder it's in added to the PATH to only use the name of it instead of the entire address.
Start works for me too, using 64 bit windows but 32 bit java.
Edit:
For all you who have issues with start and don't mind testing this - try:
- Code: Select all
start "Haven starter" "<address of javaw.exe>" -Xms256m -Xmx512m -jar haven.jar moltke.seatribe.se
also tried this, same problem
