Re: IBM i and Java Support - Steve Will

   Your desktop short cut should point at the acs launch_win-64.exe.  file.
   Always best to start ACS with the launch script rather then just starting
   a JVM.

     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".
