Trouble connecting to MIT

  1. We are talking about JDK 8.
  2. We are talking about AI2Offline and not AI2U (the latter has been deprecated for years.)

OK.
I search for "Java JDK8 Windows7" and Oracle gives me this page: Java Archive Downloads - Java SE 8 | Oracle Philippines

The page warns its a very old JDK and dangerous!

Still, even though AI2U is outdated that is what I get after installation.
I do not have WinStartAIServer or WinStartBuildServer

I downloaded AI2Offline_x64.exe from AI2Offline download | SourceForge.net as you recommended. ??????????? :persevere:

I have always used the portable version from the beginning (also with AI2U):

You are recommending I DL AI2offline 3.9.7 and Java JDK 8 correct?
do a full uninstall of JDK 18?

uninstall everything and start over?

23

If you don't use it anyway, why not.
You just need to install Java JDK 8.

I DLed the AI offline 64 bit version I removed JAVA JDK18 and left JDK8 64 bit installed.
I am right back where I began with the wonderful error :frowning_face:

I then DLed 32 bit and it created a folder which has
WinStartAIServer.bat (not cmd but bat)
WinStartBuildServer.cmd
I click them and nothing happens !! :frowning_face:

I return to #17 above and it works :roll_eyes:

I do not understand the link you gave at all: AI2Offline / Tickets / #5 AI2Offline3.9.7z

27

What's not to understand there? Download and unzip it. That's all.

I did not understand because I was looking at the images as instructions and they are in Russian I think.

I deleted my Java and installed the link software and now there is no Java folder in Programs.

I uninstalled AI2Offline_x64.exe, removed the AI2Offline folder, cleaned the computer, reinstalled AI2Offline_x64.exe

I still do not have:
AI2Offine2.9 folder
WinStart files

Nothing has changed.

29

OK I started new using AI2 32bit which has the files in your picture.

I am so confused now from all of this. I am again attempting to DL Java JDK 8 but now it requires me to be a company to sign in and get 8 downloaded ! I cant find or DL JDK 8

:hot_face:

RETRACTION !

Why is there an AI2U folder if it is supposedly old and no longer used?
I installed the 3.9 executable and the .exe works once and then quits.
However, I wrote my own .exe to fire up the modules of AI2U and it works :flushed:
well it works sometimes and sometimes not but not any different from AI2 online version !
sometimes the companion will load and sometimes it will not but AI2 does run in the browser and loads the current app project.

Why does the companion fail to load the files?

This refers to AIStarter which was last provided in version v46 of AI2U. I use this when I want to connect via USB (offline).
