Description Ruben Kerkhof 2008-02-06 13:22:52 UTC
Description of problem:

Although java.exe is in my path, fedora-idm-console.bat fails to detect it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

FedoraConsole.msi

How reproducible:

Run fedora-idm-console.bat

Actual results:

The Java Runtime Environment is installed on this machine, but the
command java.exe is not in your PATH.  You can either make sure java.exe
is in the PATH, or edit this script to set JAVA to the full path of
java.exe

Expected results:

Startup of FDS console.

Additional info:

The check:
where java > nul 2>&1 || goto findjre
doesn't work
replacing it with:
java -version > nul 2>&1 || goto findjre
does the trick on XP

Comment 3 Edward Guy Capriolo 2008-07-01 20:16:49 UTC
This may be because of using command.exe vs command.com

s/command.exe/command.com

Tested on both win2003 and winxp, both passed.

test steps:
1. run java -version -- pass, output shows java 1_6_10
2. run rhds window console (not fedora console) -- pass, console launches
