Can anytell me how to make this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/57283401/MWOMechbay.zip work? It has no .exe so I'm stumped. It should be handy if one can open it.

Usually you just double click the JAR file
In this case the MWO Mechbay (Suite)


You need Sun Java installed first:
http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp




If installing java still doesn't let you double click the file to run it here are the advanced instructions:

You need to go Start -> Run -> CMD
to bring up a command prompt.

Then try runnng java

If you get 'java is not recognised as an internal or external command' or somesuch, you need to run the following:

Find out where your Sun Java is installed. So for example under Win 7 64 bit, latest version of java its probably under here
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java
Look in your program files for anything along the lines of Java.
It will have a jre6 or jre7 folder under it, and under there a bin folder.


set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin

Or replace the program files\java bit with wherever you located your installation of Java.

Now try java command again and it should spit out heaps of garbage.


Now, you need to extract the zip file somewhere you can find it.
You need to change directory to here.

For example, If you're on win 7, and you extracted this to your desktop, (you now have a DIST folder on your desktop) enter this command
cd %userprofile%\desktop


now run the program!
java -jar "dist\MWO Mechbay (Suite).jar"

Thanks dude. That is just beyond complicated.. I've done a little with .jar previously with Minecraft mods etc. but really?
Why, of WHY couldnt they have just made it a .exe?....
