Thanks for considering Windows user in this release.

Alas it has issues. I tried to install, with the initial commands not working. Downloaded the script myself, set execution policy and it stated running. Download issues arise (probably due to being behind a proxy requiring authentication) and after a few minutes the script managed to remove itself.

I will try again when I have a real internet connection.

I haven't been able to get it working on Windows 7. After much hoop jumping I've gotten stuck on this error while trying to run the jar:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can't change/establish root binding of: warn-on-reflection with set (compiler.clj:1)

Are you running the jar with prod as an arg?

  java -jar lighttable-full.jar prod

Yes. I get the same result with or without the "prod" argument.

I was running it under JRE6... switching to JRE7 got past the error and it is working fine now.

Heads up, just sent an e-mail to feedback, with an error on starting up the system on powershell. Not sure if it's my environment or not.

You first need to allow remote scripts to be executed with: set-executionpolicy remotesigned

Then you have to "Unblock" the downloaded ps1 file (Properties, click Unblock at the bottom).

Next you have to make sure that java.exe is in your path. After that you are good to go!

This line does not appear to be working - any ideas? (new-object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile("http://temp2.kodowa.com/playground/light.ps1, "light.ps1")

you can just manually download that script if you need to at the url it uses:

  http://temp2.kodowa.com/playground/light.ps1

that's what I ended up doing - working fine now :)

For me, the issue was trying to load Light Table via the 64-bit version of PowerShell. Switching to the x86 version (and setting the remote code signing) had me working in no time.

I'll check on this, I use 64bit powershell and 64bit jvm.
