I installed J8 on Windows 7 with the zip (anti-virus didn't like the exe). This is my preferred way to install even if there is a bit of nuisance in creating shortcuts and icons on the taskbar.
Zip install meant I had to do the qtide install in jconsole. That worked smoothly, but the final comment (exit and restart J using jqt.cmd) leaves out an important point that it took me a while to figure out. jqt.cmd must be run with J8 as the current folder: >cd j64-801 >jqt.cmd ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
