Yes.

This guide is to help people so they don't have to uninstall Java 8, but they can just simply follow the guide so OSBot opens with Java 7.

Nice guide, thanks!

I'm sure it will help a lot of people

Still doesnt work. Just a cmd prompt and close can't even read what cmd prompt says because its too fast. I changed the directory and have jdk 7 jre 7 and jre 8 installed.

If you have teamviewer, PM me and I can help you resolve the issue.

Just a note, for some people Java may be in your x86 folder instead, at least it is for me, so the first line should read C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin

Still can't get it working:( 

I keep getting:

 

Error: Unable to access jarfile.

 

I'm assuming I'm writing the destination wrong for osbot? Though I've tried just about every combination I could think of.

doesnt work for me
