element manager and windows 8 2

[Wallysworld]

Hi Guys;

has anyone got this to work properly?
I have tried downloading e/m from several different sources and have the latest cartridges. However, I'm unable to use the e/m icon (shortcut).
I must go to the bcm's i.p. and launch e/m from there, which is inconvenient if I'm not connected to a live bcm.

Went from a laptop from the early 80's and told the boss to get me the latest and greatest... apparently it's too great!

Any thoughts, thanks.

Can you confirm that you have downloaded the latest version 62.0.5 at..

If it's working, then leave it alone!.

Thanks Firebird;
Even after downloading straight from the new 50 I just got, installing the 3 latest patches at Avaya's PEP... I STILL only had 60.0.3! Weird.
Anyways, that still didn't help with my ability to launch element manager! When it's saved, there's a shortcut on my desktop but when I doubleclick it, nothing happens. The shortcut doesn't goto anything. So, I go into the .bcm files and try to launch it right from there but it tells me it doesn't see the java files, but before I could download the new e/m I had to dwnld java?
Any other suggestions, it appears to be an issue with windows 8.

I use the latest Element Manager 62.0.5 on my Windows 7 without any problems.

My desktop shortcut target is C:\Users\David\.bcm\proxy_batch_exec.bat "C:\Users\David\.bcm\BEM\bin" run.bat

and it starts in C:\Users\David\.bcm

All the best

Let me know if it works for you cause I am planning to move to Windows 8.
I am using 62.0.3 with Windows 7. Does this version work with windows 8, anybody tested yet? It is always nice to know before moving to Windows 8.
Otherwise I will using a VM for that.
Thank's

I'm still unable to launch the e/m from my desktop or the .bcm file.
I can see it in there and see the executable file but when I try to launch it I get
"Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from C:Users\Wally\.bcm\BEM\bin.jar"

Mine does not say .bat ?

I'm going to have to try and see if a computer guy can figure this out for me (I am just the dumb phone guy).

As I say though, if I'm connected to a bcm, I am able to launch the Element Manager from there and it works fine.

Hello
Let me know if you manage to get it work or not. As I told you before, I just installed Windows 8 and was able to run Element manager without any problem.
I just copied the .bcm folder from Windows 7 and paste in the new system and execute the run.bat file

Hope that help you. Let me know if you have any other question.
