Using The UGS Platform

[rhaegar]

Hi folks,

I'm a newby on this forum and a newby to CNC.  I have just finished assembly of my M3 but have not been able to test it to see if it works.

I am using a recent DELL PC running Windows 10.  I have downloaded the ZIP file: ugsplatform2.0.0-aug.14-2019.zip.  I extracted all of the files.

Just like the assembly instructions said, I went to the BIN folder and ran first ugsplatform.exe then ugsplatform64.exe.

In all cases they would not run.  I always got the error messages: "Cannot Find Platform Folder" or "cannot find JAVA Folder".

Has anyone else had this problem?

TIA Rhaegar

You have to install Java 8 on your machine. java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Bruce is correct. It sounds like installing Java will take care of it.
