Stuck on Setup Step 3

Post by imogenpr25 »

I’m trying to set up YAMS on my Windows 10 machine, but I’ve run into a problem during installation. Everything goes fine until Step 3 of the setup wizard, where it checks for Java. It keeps saying “Java not found,” even though I’ve already installed the latest version of Java.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

Installed Java (version 8 update 391)

Restarted my computer

Checked that java works in Command Prompt (java -version shows correctly)

Tried running YAMS as administrator

Still no luck. 😕

Is there something I’m missing? Do I need to set a specific environment variable or reinstall YAMS?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Hey @imogenpr25!

YAMS doesn't work in Windows and it doesn't use Java. You might be installing the wrong thing.

Cheers!
