hdf5 - how to install java for HDF5view app for Windows 10

Question

I'm getting the following error when I run HDF5view, but can't find instructions on how to install Java, which the error seems to indicate is missing.

Answer 1

just had the same issue. You need to add the runtimein folder to your Windows path variable.

• Download the "HDFView-3.1.2-win10_64-vs16.zip" from the HDF Group website
• Install HDF View app with the included "HDFView-3.1.2.exe"
• Open the Windows Start menu and type "edit system environment"
• Select the "Path" variable either from User or System variables and click "Edit"
• Add a new entry an enter "C:Users[USERNAME]AppDataLocalHDF_GroupHDFView untimein"
• Restart Windows, and now you can open "HDF View" from Windows Start menu
