Been doing this tinkering on a spare Win10 desktop

So I added the JAVA_HOME even though what I read said it was only for the
java development kit.

Now the desktop shortcut to the .hod file works.

But the desktop shortcut to acsbundle.jar does NOT work. It's asking for
an app. There is no file association for .jar.

What is the proper thing to put there? My Win7 desktop associates it with
"Java(TM) Platform SE Binary" which is Oracle. I right-click the .jar file
and point it to java.exe, but it doesn't "take".

JAVA_HOME needed to be set to the parent directory...not bin...

All is working (or at least starting :) )

Exactly..

All I did was remove any trace of java from my PC..including cleaning
the registry and all the relevant env vars..

Then placed the new java in a ....Java.... folder...and pointed the path
and JAVA_HOME vars to it.

Then everything worked..even my old version of ACS.

The version of Java that Oracle wants paid for is 8 - only that - so
if you update from there, you will be fine. Question becomes, can you
update? The installer we have is for Java 8.

Tim Rowe, I believe, also has published instructions on setting ACS to
use a different version of Java, including IBM's, which has no
problems like this.

He never categorically answers this, but am I to infer that come
January,
if we want to continue to use java from Oracle on Windows desktops
for ACS,
we need to pay for it?

If so, I most likely misread earlier, because I was under the
impression it
did not affect us ACS users.
