A few days ago I had a post about running the game on a new laptop for windows 8.1, I have the game running fine but WitPTracker will not run for me now. I get the following error:

C:\Users\emasino69\Desktop\WitPTracker AE Release 1.9.2>java -Xms384m -Xmx512m -
jar "WitPTracker.jar"
'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\Users\emasino69\Desktop\WitPTracker AE Release 1.9.2>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

I am updated to the most recent Java.....any suggestions?

Thanks for the help once again.

Tracker only works on Java 6, I believe. You can have and maintain both 6 and 7 on your processing unit. More nerdy people will advise how you handle that soon.

Being "up to date" is one of the prime causes for failures.

There is a sticky post for tracker and it is discussing Java woes.

This is covered in the sticky. Your system does not know the path to the java support files. Either move copies of java files into tracker's directory or add the path to java install (paths can vary so I would not want to speculate what that is for your PC).

Don't recommend coping into tracker directory...as java will likely never update them, potentialy leaving your system vulnernable to future security issues.

Same technique is used to "point" at a specific (Java 6 vs. 7) version.

If you can't find in the sticky...post again, I'll look when I get home tonight and put the link below.

Just remembered this off site help, your answer is here (first issue addresse): https://sites.google.com/site/witptracker/support
