Please read the “How to ask good question” Topic. I can tell from your next post that you did not read it.

One big chunk of text which is awful to read and analyse.

Let me just show en example of your text but formatted “correct” / “nice”.

# EDITED

Thanks to all. I agree with the linux solution but I’cant follow now.  
As said I followed all the instructions from the org web for windows installation.

On starting “start.bat” nothing happens.  
Found a log on openHab2/userdata/logs that reports:

I am now reading the log

## EDIT:

**Question:**  
Did you run `start.bat` let it run for 1 Minute and then canceled and tried again?

I would suggest your try a fresh reinstall of openHAB since it looks like something got messed up on the first launch.
