Unsure about installation procedures for Windows

I was able to reproduce this issue on a Linux installation of OH 2.3.0 also

If you place the openhab-addons-2.3.0.kar in the addons folder all included addons are automatically installated and started :frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

I would be good if someone with more experience on Karaf can take a look at the following and do some extra testing to identify the root-cause…

Good news! The chocolatey :chocolate_bar: package will be updated soon by @bcurran3 to include only the standard openHAB distribution.

Using the “Install with Chocolatey” method described on https://www.openhab.org/download/, OH2 will be installed without any pre-loaded (offline) addons and you will be able to install them as needed (using the PaperUI). See: https://www.openhab.org/docs/configuration/addons.html

You can also see how to install the program in windows. Made bij yoyo

Choco package for 2.3 without addons was downloaded 819 times since release (1 month ago). that’s not bad.

@bcurran3: If you find some free time, it would be nice to publish a newer Choco package for the 2.4.0 Stable

I opened up an issue here: https://github.com/bcurran3/ChocolateyPackages/issues/54

New Chocolatey package for 2.4.0 Stable has been created by @bcurran3 and soon will be available: https://chocolatey.org/packages/openhab/2.4.0

Thanks for this. I did a search for “tinyb” (used Agent Ransack) anywhere within the install (OpenHAB 2.5.5) on Win10, manual install. It appeared in three files:

C:\openHAB2.5.5\userdata\cache\org.eclipse.osgi\framework.info.69
C:\openHAB2.5.5\userdata\cache\org.eclipse.osgi\238\0\bundleFile
C:\openHAB2.5.5\userdata\tmp\mvn\org\openhab\addons\bundles\org.openhab.binding.bluetooth.bluez\2.5.5\org.openhab.binding.bluetooth.bluez-2.5.5.jar

‘69’ and ‘238’ are pseudo-random numeric assignments. A search tool is what is really required. Simply bouncing the system seems to cause some of these numbers to change.

I deleted the ‘mvn’ jar file, to no effect. I deleted the osgi bundle file and the problem was resolved.

A search of ‘Bluetooth’ shows a number of other Bluetooth jars.

As a result of deleting ‘bluez’ binding I still have 7 other Bluetooth bindings available to me, which I have yet to try to use, but I’m happy to see them, since I would still like to connect some Bluetooth devices. (The problem doesn’t appear to be Bluetooth, but the one particular binding.)

-AM43 Blind Drive Motor
-Bluetooth Device
-Connected Bluetooth Device
-Airthings Wave+
-Blukii SmartBeacon
-BlueGiga Bluetooth Dongle
-Ruuvi Smart Beacon

In addition, I had previously installed the SMA Energy Meter binding, which was not supposed to require any configuration, but had no visible result. Once I deleted the tinyb/Bluez bundle, I now have an SMA Energy Meter in my Inbox.

In addition, the reference within C:\openHAB2.5.5\userdata\cache\org.eclipse.osgi\framework.info.nn (now 73) cleared by itself and I have no references to ‘tinyb’. It’s unclear if it was necessary to delete the Bluez jar, but it clearly has no utility until the code is fixed.
