cannot open sikulixide-2.0.5.jar file after download

Asked by Adam B

I have very limited knowledge when it comes to these things but after downloading the file I cannot open it. I have the latest version of java, I'm on windows 10. Im not sure why but i when i double click on the file nothing i get the loading wheel for a couple seconds, then nothing. Im sure its something simple since I've looked up this problem and no one seems to have it

In a command line window issue:
java -version

should tell something like:
java version "1.8.0_311"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_311-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.311-b11, mixed mode)

IMPORTANT: must say 64-Bit (if 32-Bit: install the 64-Bit Version)

if ok: on command line:
java -jar <path-to>\sikulixide.....jar -v -c

this shows some startup-log and possible problems.

come back if it does not work

Yep turns out I have both 32 and 64 bit versions installed. When I ran java -version it returned:

     java version "1.8.0_321"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_321-b07)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.321-b07, mixed mode)

Went to https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp and downloaded and installed the Windows Offline (64-bit) version. Then ran the java -version command and it returned:

    java version "1.8.0_321"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_321-b07)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.321-b07, mixed mode)

And now I was able to open the sikulixide-2.0.5 file. Thanks a bunch, just posting this in case someone not as tech-savvy as myself can figure it out.
