Greetings!
Friday afternoon is a bad time to open a Windows VM for anything but while pursuing a question about BaseX 9.7 and Windows 10,...
basexgui fails with: "Windows cannot find 'javaw.' Make sure you typed the name correctly, then try again."
basexgui.bat reports: "start javaw -cp "%CP%" ..."
All the other .bat file report "start java ...."
BTW, Windows is very cranky about running "unknown publisher" software.
Hope everyone has already started a great weekend and will tend to this next Monday.
Patrick
PS: I'm still running 9.4.6 on Debian and report the same from the files there. 9.7 was on Windows 10.
Hi Patrick,
basexgui fails with: "Windows cannot find 'javaw.' Make sure you typed the name correctly, then try again."
That’s good to know. We invoke "javaw" instead of "java” as it won’t open any ephemeral command line window.
Can you tell which Java distribution is used in your Windows VM?
BTW, Windows is very cranky about running "unknown publisher" software.
True. I think we’d have to pay money to get registered as publisher (which is not very Open-Source friendly).
Best, Christian
Christian,
It's the little things.
Windows 10 does not ship with Java pre-installed!
In a powerwindow:
java -version
"java: The term 'java' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program."
Well, that's fairly complete!
I'll toss Java onto it and check javaw again.
Sorry for the noise.
Hope the week is off to a great start!

Christian,
Done and done. With Java installed on Windows, works as expected!
I assume regular Windows users are more aware of its, err, special needs. ;-)
Hope you are having a great week!
