Windows exe's do not open #11

In fact, the JRE does not appear to be included in any of these apps (did you click the button on export?), so its probably a fluke that it runs on my mac as well...

Need to repackage with one of these methods...

dhowe commented 7 years ago

For now lets post the following: 1) The Windows builds as is, but with a Note on the page that Java 1.8x is required on the machine 2) The NEW mac app (~150mb) , with only the .app and .rtf files in the zip 3) The linux is fine as is

Note that these are all in the applications folder of the 'Readers2016_asPosted' branch of this repo

We need to included a JRE along with the windows app. @cqx931 can you try with install4j as described here: https://robbamforth.wordpress.com/2016/01/29/java-how-to-bundle-a-java-app-as-an-windows-executable-exe-jar-to-exe-6/
