Title: Installer won't start
Post by: T-LoW on November 11, 2015, 03:40:19 am

So I downloaded the .jar-file (with the most recent version of java installed) and double-clicked it and nothing happens but a quick screen-popup which closes again in the same second. Right click open with (and picking the java exe) didn't work either.

Any ideas what I'm missing here? :wtf: I'm running on Win10.

Thanks in advance!

I'd say re-download the .jar

You could also open a console and type "java -jar FreeSpaceOpenInstaller.jar" (without quotes).  That should prevent messages from closing right away.  Also, you could take a look in the logs folder to see if it contains any errors.
