Curious...it worked on both my Windows 10 home machine and my Windows 7 work machine. What's you're JAVA_HOME environment variable set to? Is it a JDK?
I'm thinking maybe your JAVA_HOME isn't set, and you can't pass where Java is as an arg because groovy.c <https://github.com/groovy/groovy-native-launcher/blob/master/source/groovy.c> doesn't take any args for groovyConsole. I've been meaning to update the native binaries, we've been in need of some changes for a while. But first I wanted to move it over to GNU Make so we can actually reliably build these things (or change to Launch4j -- I'm not sure I get the original author's objections to that idea). I just haven't gotten it done yet... In the mean time, I'd look at setting your JAVA_HOME, or j.ust keep using the batch file. -Keegan On Fri, Mar 18, 2016 at 9:51 AM, Winnebeck, Jason < jason.winneb...@windstream.com> wrote: > I understand you are green that's fine. > > I don't use the installer, so I didn't have groovyConsole.exe, but I did > try the installer.
