During startup, I receive the error ''This application requires a Java Run Time Environment 1.5.0. However, I do have jdk-17.0.2 in my C:\development folder. I assume Record Editor can't find it. I do have a System Environment Variable added for JAVA_HOME: 'C:\development\jdk-17.0.2'. I'm assuming that the shortcut need to have a target property updated to my C:\development folder, but have been unable to get it to work. Thanks!

    1) The installer will try and add the start server program to the Windows-startup directory so it will try and start the Server (and fail) when windows starts, you should probably remove it.
    2) Go to the RecordEditor lib directory C:\Program Files (x86)\RecordEdit\HSQL\lib** and check if runCobolEditor.jar - this java should run the Cobol Editor.
    3) If you have option to run using Java.exe, try running thje program
    4) There will probably be a bat file
    runCobolEditor.bat -try running it
    5) If that does not work take a copy of
    runCobolEditor.bat** and edit the copy, remove the start put your
    full address of java in and try running the bat file again.
    6) Also in the RecordEditor, there is a schema/Cobol tab where you can edit
    using a Cobol copybook. This option may be better than theCobol Editor.
    I will try and put a simple Wiki together for this
