I haven't needed RMIR for a while, until the prospect of a new TV. Now with Firefox and Windows 10 Java seems no longer to be supported. I have MS Edge too but don't think that supports Java either and am clueless about this sort of thing - so what could I do to get Java working again for RMIR please? |

I am using RMIR on Windows 10, so not sure what you mean about Java not being supported. _________________ Rob

I tried again and got Java from https://www.java.com/en/download/win10.jsp , which 'this time' installed ok (maybe I tried the wrong download before?)
Even so, the procedure I think used before, (after clicking on setup.vbs in RM)
was to open .rimir files by clicking on them and 'open with' RM, which displays: 'this app can't run on PC'.
However 'Open with' Java(TM) Platform SE Library works ok, as does clicking on the shortcut to RMIR
Panic over! |

There is no program called setup.vbs in the RMIR installation folder. There is Setup.vbs (with an upper-case S) that is the correct one for Windows, and there is setup.sh (with a lower-case S) that is the equivalent for Linux. I think you must have tried to run setup.sh in Windows. Please try Setup.vbs. _________________ Graham |

Right, I see now that there are two of them and it certainly works ok after Setup.vbs. There seem to have been several things I may have done wrong but all is now well thank you. |
