In trying to install the Epson JavaPOS ADK the program never finishes. Looking at the log file seems that the program is looking for files that do not exist, and therefore cannot manipulate them. After installation "completes" the file C:\opt\EpsonJavaPOS\Uninstall_Epson JavaPOS ADK_1.14.0.0\.com.zerog.registry is created. Not sure what I've done to mess this up.

There are bug fixes that may be involved in JavaPOS ADK 1.14.3W.

[Bug fix]
- The bug is fixed that the installation of JavaPOS ADK fails in the latest Java VM on Windows10.

The latest version is 1.14.6 W, so please try it.

  • How about for linux? it seems 1.14.5 has bug in running the setup – AyukNayr Aug 07 '18 at 06:25
  • And the installer too. Their installer has error in code. – AyukNayr Aug 07 '18 at 06:25
  • @AyukNayr, The latest version is [EPSON JavaPOS ADK (for Linux OS) Ver.1.14.6L](https://download.epson-biz.com/modules/pos/index.php?page=single_soft&cid=5667&scat=40&pcat=3), and the contents you say are not listed in the Bug fix list. If it still occurs even if you change to the latest version, please contact EPSON. – kunif Aug 07 '18 at 07:51

    The method is described on the site of EPSON in your country. It looks like the Philippines, so it will be [here](https://www.epson.com.ph/contact#zZwf9e7VKRYqI1WW.97). – kunif Aug 07 '18 at 09:15
  • Thanks. Anyway I used the latest version which is 14.6. Now when I execute SetupPOS, the error is Could not find or load main class.com.epson.pos.SetupPOS.SetupPOS Help much appreciated :) – AyukNayr Aug 07 '18 at 09:34
  • what could be the reason for this? hmm – AyukNayr Aug 07 '18 at 09:45
  • EPSON may have forgotten to describe the bug fix. – kunif Aug 07 '18 at 10:56
  • I thought I used 14.6 but it was 14.5. Bug fixed in update 14.6. versions for ubuntu not working. 1.14.1 1.14.2 1.14.3 1.14.4 1.14.5 – AyukNayr Aug 08 '18 at 02:29

for me, i found out that the installer does not play nicely with Java 8 and Windows 10. After I used Java 7 as the parameter for LAX_VM, it installed correctly. You may need to switch to another user if the installer keeps skipping installation steps though.

    I just found out, to avoid skipping installation steps by Epson JAVAPOS installer, you can delete the directory named `Zero G Registry` present in `C:\Users\` folder. After deleting this, if you run the installer, it won't skip steps anymore. Just putting this out so if anyone else has this issue, it would help them. – Sharad Tank May 28 '19 at 06:16
