Looking for help installing processing on Windows 7

in Integration and Hardware • 2 years ago

I looking for help on how to install and run processing 1.5.1 on my computer running windows 7 Enterprise, Service Pack1.

I've followed the directions on http://processing.org/learning/gettingstarted/:

I've unzipped the processing with java to a directory and
when I click on Processing.exe the first time I get an error message and do not see the display window but I do see the processing window.
From then on when I click on Processing.exe I don't see the error message or the display window
Eventually I see following stack trace in the processing window:

java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect

I've tried the Troubleshooting suggestions for Windows on http://wiki.processing.org/w/Troubleshooting under "Processing won't start..."
I've tried running ".\processing.exe --l4j-debug" but the launch4j.log is empty.
I've looked in the windows registry but there are no keys for Processing.

Any help getting processing.exe working would be greatly appreciated.

You will find a number of similar threads in the forum... One of the suggestions is to install Processing in a directory without spaces. I install all my Java programs in C:/Java to be sure not to have this problem...

Thank you. I installed procesing in c:\Java and it work now. I was thrown off at first because the Getting Started ( http://processing.org/learning/gettingstarted/) made me think I'd see a display window when Processing started, not after I typed in a command, etc.

thank again for the advice,

Jim
