Im thinking there might be an easier way ....
Hello.
I've been a longtime Linux user and have used YAAC for quite a while now under Linux. I have just purchased a Microsoft Surface Pro 3. I
admit to not knowing anything about Windows since Win98SE. I've searched over the web for how to get it (YAAC) running under JAVA on
the Surface and have tried to look at he archives .
here but have not resolved anything.
?
I have installed both JDK (8u44??) and JRE. When i try to run it it pulls up a browser window and just makes a duplicate of the install file.
Further research tells me i have to set a PATH and environment variables, etc. To me it seems l should just run WUBI and install a version of LINUX
under Windows and try to run it that way.
?
I really would appreciate any ideas anyone might have to get it to run with win 10.1.
?
Thank-you much.

If you installed the Oracle commercial JRE or JDK on Windows, then all you should to do is use File Explorer to view the directory into which you unzipped the YAAC.zip distribution file (you can't run it from inside the zip file), then double-click on YAAC.jar (the starting Java program for YAAC). That should get YAAC running.
If you used OpenJDK instead, you'll need to add the JRE's bin directory to your system PATH environment variable in Windows Control Panel (OpenJDK doesn't have a full-blown Windows installer like the Oracle commercial version does to automatically register the java.exe program as the program to open .jar files), then either do the above starting of YAAC from File Explorer, or open a Command window, use the 'cd' command to move to the directory when you unzipped YAAC, and type the command java -jar YAAC.jar Hope this all helps.
