megaplayboy Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 I recently had to reinstall HD after a crash. I am getting the following message when I double click the icon: "could not find the main class: com.Hero.HeroDesigner. Program will exit." Any advice appreciated. .

Simon Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Which icon are you double-clicking? The download is just a zip file...when unpacked, it will give you (among other files) HD6.jar -- that is the executable for the program and contains all information needed to run HD. Offhand, it sounds like you've got an old shortcut that you're clicking on rather than HD6.jar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offhand, it sounds like you've got an old shortcut that you're clicking on rather than HD6.jar... I extracted the zip to its own folder in my documents directory. I'm clicking on HD6.jar. I do have Java Virtual Machine installed. Not sure where the problem is, though I do remember having an issue the last time I installed. I think I had to change the version of java or somesuch.

Simon Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 What version of Java do you have installed? HD will work with Java 6 or better, which is pretty much anything you'd actually have/want installed at this point. You can determine your Java version by opening a command prompt and entering: java -version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Also: update your Java installation -- you really don't want to be running something that out of date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in my user subdirectory in the command prompt, and it doesn't recognize that command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Then you don't have Java installed...at least not the full version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
