Ehh, I don’t get the instructions to make the installer work…
This one? Yeah,… I would need to read it multiple times…
What OS are You using?
I don’t fully understand these instructions myself, but I guess they work if you figure out what for example “rtpoint” is?
This happens because Oracle dropped support for Windows
XP (which doesn’t have RegDeleteKeyExA used by the installer in its
ADVAPI32.DLL by the way) as described in http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/openjfx-dev/2013-July/009005.html.
Yet while the official support for XP has ended, the Java binaries are
still (as of Java 8u20 EA b05 at least) XP-compatible - only the
installer isn’t…
Because of that, the solution is actually quite easy:
get 7-zip (or any other quality archiver), unpack the
distribution .exe manually, it has one .zip file inside of it, extract
it too,use unpack200 from JDK8 to unpack all .pack files to .jar files
(older unpacks won’t work properly); JAVA_HOME should be set to your
Java unpack root, e.g. “C:\Program Files\Java\jdk8” - you can specify it
implicitly by e.g.
SET JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk8
Unpack all files with a single command:
FOR /R %%f IN (*.pack) DO "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\unpack200.exe" -r -v "%%f" "%%~pf%%~nf.jar"
Unpack by manually locating the files and unpacking them one-by-one:
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\unpack200 -r packname.pack packname.jar
where packname is for example rtpoint the tool you want to use (e.g. Netbeans) to the %JAVA_HOME% and you’re good to go.
As a note: you probably shouldn’t do this just to use Java 8 in your
web browser or for any similar reason (installing JRE 8 comes to mind);
security flaws in early updates of major Java version releases are (mind
me) legendary, and adding to that no real support for neither XP nor Java 8 on XP only makes matters much worse. Not to mention you usually don’t need Java in your browser (see e.g. http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2013/01/15/disable-java-browsers-homeland-security/
- the topic is already covered on many pages, just google it if you
require further info). In any case, AFAIK the only thing required to
apply this procedure to JRE is to change some of the paths specified
above from \bin\ to \lib\ (the file placement in installer directory
tree is a bit different) - yet I strongly advise against doing it.

Yep… There’s not that many 64 bit Xp’s out there.
Windows XP 64 Bit Edition Didn’t sell too good.

Well not really just that… But also it only works with 1 type of processor and was much more expensive than 32 bit machines…
That’s why It did sell bad.

Ohai!
Im working on 1.6 which would add random games by competitors, and randomly choose the best to show on “The Expo”, a small chance of your game being interrupted, like:
your games would need time to develop, and something really taken from GB3, which I call “The FPS system”.
I will also do some basics of your HQ (you could upgrade offices, R&D center, etc.) and the competitor list, so You could compete with others!
I plan also custom starting dates, but thats for 1.7.
PS: Oh yeah, and I would need some beta-testers! If You have java 8, and want to test 1.6’s Dev Version,
lemme know.
PPS: Thanks for over 120 downloads!
EDIT: PPPS: Now there is over 4k Lines of code, Its 1,1k more than in 1.5 already.
