When i start OH2 under Windows 7, nothing happends.
Here is what i did:
Downloaded offline-2.0.0-snapshot
Installed jdk-8u111-windows-i586
fixed empty JAVA_HOME variable by setting env. variable to: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_111 and including C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_111\bin in PATH.
Java version is:
java version "1.8.0_111"
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_111-b14)
Java HotSpot™ Client VM (build 25.111-b14, mixed mode, sharing)
If i start OH2 in debug mode, i get:
Launching the openHAB runtime…
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 5005
I remember from a test installation about two years ago that openHAB did not work while installed in C:/Program Files.
I had to put it in D:/openhab or something (maybe it was “Documents”), then it worked.
