Getting "Can't run the JVM" when starting Ardor on Windows 10

Question

When running Ardor 2.2.1 on Windows 10, I'm getting "Can't run the JVM" error. Also tried going to the command line and going to:

C:\Program Files\Ardor

and running run.bat

It just pops open a window and closes.

Answer 1

If you edit the run.bat file you'll notice the last line that begins with start

I copied that line and made the java.exe paths absolute instead of relative and pasted this line into the command line window:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_191\bin\java.exe" -cp classes;lib*;conf;addons\classes;addons\lib* -Dnxt.runtime.mode=desktop nxt.Nxt

If Ardor starts, that just means your java paths are not working properly in windows.
