Trouble installing on Windows

Submitted by Anonymous on Monday, 1 March, 2004 - 22:16

I've been trying for the last couple of hours to install jEdit on my computer at work but can't seem to make this happen. As I recall the last time I installed this software on my home computer it was quite simple. I have tried following your instructions on http://www.jedit.org/index.php?page=download but haven't had any luck. I'm hoping you can provide me some guidance before I abandon this software and try something else. I am running Windows 2000 Pro on both my of my systems at home and at work.

So far this is what I have done:
1. Downloaded the latest stable verson (4.1) to a directory named c:\Downloads
2. From here I extracted the jedit41install.jar into the same directory i.e., c:\Downloads
3. Ok . . . Now what???

Hi, if double-clicking does not work, try a commandline with "java -jar .jar" where is the filename part of your doenloaded jedit jar file. That should launch the jedit installer inside the jar file (which is also the reason why just extracting doesn't work, this is an installer jar, no program-directory jar. regards, HaSTe

If doubleclicking jar doesn't

If doubleclicking jar doesn't work check this for Windows installation instructions:
http://www.jedit.org/index.php?page=download&platform=windows#instructions

So basically you use
java -jar jedit41install.jar

oh boy

All you do is *double click* on the jar you downloaded. It should run with javaw. If double clicking doesn't work, you don't have java setup correctly.

The instructions say nothing about extracting the jar.
