How to use the LWAC??

[nigthhunter]

Hi everybody

I have download the Lwac and i can't use it or don't know how.

I use J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0

Is there somebody who can help me with that, I'm kissing him

It should just be the case of downloading the archive, unzipping it to a new folder, then double-clicking the file lwac.jar and it should run. It might take a couple of seconds to initialise before any window appears on-screen, so be patient.

Hope it helps. If not, post again and I'll try to explain something a bit more technical that might help.

Oh, and I shan't bother with the kiss, thanks. ;D

Hi outspaced

I have unzip the files in a new folder that I name Lwac but the thing is that I don't have the lwca.jar file.

Hmm . . . odd. OK, NH, try downloading this file. I know it's got the lwac.jar file in it because I just downloaded it to check. It's only about 124Kb so it should download very quickly. Make sure you unzip all of the files to the folder (there should be 10 of them). Double-click the file lwac.jar and it should run after a few seconds of initialising.

If you get the lwac.jar file and it doesn't run when you double-click it, or it opens up in your ZIP software, you'll need to change the default program that opens a *.jar file to javaw.exe, but hopefully you won't need to do that once you actually have a copy of the file.

Hope it helps.

Ok... I just recognize that lwac.jar file.

I have changed the default program to java.exe as you said but when I try to open it, java tell me "Could not find the main class. Program will exit"

The other thing too is that you said it have 10 files in Lwac zip file but I have only 5 of them.
These are;
a folder name image,
a text document name gpl,
two HTML, one is license and the other manual,
and Lwac.jar

If I unzip this one i receive two more folder but I don't think we must unzip it anyway.

I use WinRar archiver, maybe that is the problem.
Or I must download other things from the site?

OK, have you got the latest version of JRE 5 (version 4)?

Are you sure you're opening the *.jar file with javaW.exe? It won't work if you try to open it with jave.exe. Javaw.exe should be in the same directory (Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_04\bin). Additionally, javaw.exe doesn't like the command line. The best way to get LWAC to run, in my experience, is to make a shortcut to lwac.jar on the desktop, and double-click it from there.

Also, if you install the latest version of Java, it should update your system so that all *.jar files open with "Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition binary", which will work perfectly (I just updated Java to the latest version, ran lwac, and it worked fine). You can find this out by right-clicking on lwac.jar and clicking Properties. The program that opens the *.jar file will be displayed on the General tab beneath:

"Type of file: Executable Jar file"

About the ten files--6 of them are in the "images" folder. Sorry, I should have been clearer. You have all the files needed. WinRAR is a perfectly acceptable piece of software for unarchiving. You don't need to unarchive the lwac.jar file, leave that as it is. And no, you don't need to download any other software (apart from Java) to get the lwac to work.

I hope this next attempt works for you!

I try it with a short cut but the same message appear again

I have look for the type of file and it's write WinRar archive ( I must specify that I use a Windows in french and maybe the translation I make can confuse)
and it open with Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition binary.

Also it's javaw.exe that I have put.

[nigthhunter]

Also my java is up-to-date

Anyway, I have a friend of mine who know a little bit more of me on computer so he might help me with that.

Thanks for the help and it was nice to meet you, maybe we will sharing again on this forum.

[outspaced]

Sorry to disappear like that; I was actually meeting real people--in real life! That's unusual for me.

Sorry I can't help you more; I hate not being able to help people, but I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. :-\ Unless anyone more knowledgeable than me can think of some suggestions, it looks like you'll have to ask your friend about this.

It was nice to meet you, too. It's always good to hear from other Lone Wolf fans around the world. Hope you drop by again soon!

All the best.

For all who migth have the same problem than me, you must re-install java.
I just have re-install it and it work fine.
Now I can honor the Kai and bring them to their glory.
Long live to all Kai fan
