For the record, the osmosis.bat file looks for a file also named osmosis.bat in your user's home directory (so, C:\Users\username\osmosis.bat ) where you can put a JAVACMD variable that points at the java.exe file installed as part of the java runtime environment. If no JAVACMD option is set it tries to just run "java.exe" and hopes it is in the system path. By the looks of it the java installer does not add itself to the system path.
This is (kind of) documented here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis/Installation#Environment_variables_and_config_files Toby On Tue, Dec 20, 2011 at 5:58 PM, john whelan <jwhelan0...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks but eventually I stumbled across Osmconvert which appears to do > everything I need.
