Can't run on Windows 11

[leowhss]

Hello,

Compiled the v3 source with Java 17 to the mapton.exe Also downloaded the latest v2.2.1 release. The problem is when I try to run both, I get the "cannot find Java 1.8 or higher" error.

I am on Windows 11 and my JAVA_HOME and Path has been set. Is this a Windows 11 issue? Any advice?

Thanks for open sourcing!

Hello,

Some updates. I tried on Windows 10 and received the same "Cannot find Java 1.8 or higher" when I compile from source and try to run.

From the releases, if I download the mapton-2.2.1-windows.zip, it runs without error. If I download the mapton-2.2.1-any.zip and tried to run the mapton.exe, it gives the "Cannot find Java 1.8 or higher" error.

Thanks,

Sean

Hi @leowhss , a file like mapton-2.2.1-windows.zip contains a bundled runtime, so it should work all the time, 'any' does not include a runtime so it's depends on the host to provide one.

mapton.exe requires a 32-bit runtime (I have never tried it) and mapton64.exe a 64-bit one.

It's important that the runtime contains bundled javafx modules, like azul provides for instance.

You can see some options with mapton64 --help and try to set jdkhome manually like mapton64 --jdkhome /path/to/jre/or/jdk/with/javafx

I'm not sure why it doesn't pick up your java though.

That said, I have never tried windows 11.
