Generation of start scripts
On Windows, the installer creates a jython.bat and a jythonc.bat file. On all other platforms, it creates a jython and jythonc file, which are unix like shell scripts. If these scripts are not executable, please grant the permission on os system level.
Please let us know if you need different scripts on different platforms.
Troubleshooting
If one of the GUI steps should appear empty, or with no text visible: Please try to press 'Previous' and then 'Next' again.
The GUI which appears when pressing the "Browse" button in selecting the target directory might be a bit confusing. Some tips and tricks:
it uses the standard javax.swing.JFileChooser
- opening and selecting of a directory: different look and feel on different platforms - just play a little to get used to it
- the icon for creation of a new directory is sometimes greyed out, although java would have the rights to create one. If this happens, select the parent directory and then try to type in the name of the new directory in the input field. The installer then will create the new directory, if possible
If all else fails, try using console mode.
