Getting jEdit started under Vista Home Premium
Submitted by Abbeyman on Friday, 11 September, 2009 - 09:57
Installing jEdit
Hi,

I want to operate jEdit on a Windows Vista Home Premium OS, installed latest JAVA environment and the latest jEdit. At double-klick the program does not start (even with administrator rights and simulating an WIN XP SP2 environment). Another post said you need to delete perspecitves.xml in the folder "Settings". Problem is, there is not such a folder, nor the xml-file. Does anyone has experience with operating jEdit under WIN VISTA Home Premium? It would be very sad to miss jEdit as it looks very promising.

Thanks in advance for any help & best regards from germany

O.k., let's begin Smiling

1. Which version of jEdit did You install?
2. How did You install it (via jar or installer)?
3. When using the installer: Did You chose to start the jEdit server at logon?
4. What is the content of the environment variable %USERPROFILE%?
(You can get it by type "set u" into a console window)

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your reply. Question N° 4 lead me to "perspectives.xml". After deleting that file I'm now able to start jEdit.

Thank you very much.

Best regards
