Starting HelpExpert

Once requirements are met and installation is complete, HelpExpert can be started using the following command

< AppDir> in above command means the directory, you have installed HelpExpert in on your computer. <JRE> means the directory, the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is stored on your computer.

Important: All paths may not contain blanks, so a path such as C:\Program Files\HelpExpert as the <AppDir> will not work!

Example

If the file HelpExpert.jar is located in directory C:\Programs\HelpExpert and the JRE is located in C:\Programs\JRE the command to launch application HelpExpert would look like this

C:\Programs\JRE\bin\javaw.exe -jar C:\Programs\HelpExpert\HelpExpert.jar
