I'm helping a friend with updating his JMRI from 4.2 to 5.8. I made the mistake of not doing the update in the steps suggested when doing so. I removed Java and now, his machine will not load Java 1.8 again. It hangs with an error code and the Java site states they don't know why this happens and the workarounds don't work for me. Java 11 loads just fine. I'm wondering if I just copy his roster and panel folders onto a flash drive, remove JMRI and then load Java 11 and then JMRI version 5.8. I then should be able to just pop in the roster and panel folders and life should be good again. Thoughts??
Thanks
