Java for Windows
A Java runtime environment must be installed before
installing jLog. The newest Java 1.6 is strongly
recommended for any version.
jLog V 5 requires Java 1.6 or newer.
Frequent upgrades to the newest revision is recommended as this usually provides both visual and performance improvements as well as bug-fixes.
Please note that you must install Java as a user with Administrator privileges.
Download JRE
The latest Java 1.6.0_29 or Java 1.7.1 can be
downloaded here
(7 - 18 Mb).
Select the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
variant (unless you are a professional needing the extra
functionality of the JDK for other purposes). It will
install into C:\Program Files\Java when default
values are specified.
Change Java version for jLog V 4.x
You need to modify the jLog startup file after having installed a new Java version unless you are making a full install of the jLog application afterwards.
To change manually, locate the file 'conf/jLog.lax' where you installed the jLog application, i.e. typically C:\Program Files\jLog\conf\jLog.lax. Open it with a text editor and scroll down to find the entry:
# LAX.NL.CURRENT.VM
# -----------------
# the VM to use for the next launch
lax.nl.current.vm=C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre6\\bin\\java.exe
You may place a comment sign in front of the current entry and append a new entry for the newest JRE:
#lax.nl.current.vm=C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.5.0_09\\bin\\java.exe
lax.nl.current.vm=C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre6\\bin\\java.exe
Save the file and restart jLog.
