Hi All. I'm not able to start VStar, after downloading, at the moment of starting the program, an error message appears

Cannot launch VStar

Exception: EProcess

Error: failed to execute :2

Executable : jawaw.exe

Launching java.exe
With parameters:
-splash:"C:\Users\franc\vstar\extlib\vstaricon.png"
-Xms800m
-Xmx1500m
-jar "C:\Users\franc\vstar\dist\vstar.jar"

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Thanks! The problem seems solved. In reality the program automatically downloads Java, but I had to launch it...

Cheers
