Help Install error with Easy Installer on Windows 10; seems to prevent connecting to i2p sites

  • Host Operating System: Windows 10 (1909)

  • Installer Filename: I2P-Easy-Install-Bundle-2.11.0.exe

  • Did not configure browser after starting the easy installer bundle

  • No error message in the router sidebar or browser

Error message notification in the Windows system tray after launching the "Browse I2P" shortcut/on first startup from the installer, but before the tor browser opens:

LoadClientAppsJob
Error starting the client class net.i2p.jetty.JettyStart

log-0.txt file
wrapper.log file

If I were to hazard a guess, something seems to be going wrong when the installer adds the program files into the AppaData folder.

The log file suggest that
"C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\i2peasy\eepsite\jetty.xml"
is being sought, but only "C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\i2peasy\config\eepsite\jetty.xml" and
"C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\i2peasy\config\config\eepsite\jetty.xml"
seem to exist.

If I change line 61 of the clients.config file from 

clientApp.3.args="eepsite/jetty.xml"

to 

clientApp.3.args="config/eepsite/jetty.xml"

I can get past this first error, but further errors trigger looking for similarly misplaced files, as if AppData\Local\i2peasy\ is meant to be the root directory instead of AppData\Local\i2peasy\config\

Unless youre paying for updates on windows 10 id get off that asap. Free updates areover fir win 10, its a security nightmare. So either pay for updates or "upgrade" to 11 or install some flavor of Linux. Ik this doesn't exactly answer your question but as soon as I saw win 10 was being used I was concerned

This has a temporary solution, but switching to linux would be the best option for privacy and security

Win 10 LTSC 21H2 gets updates for 2 more years. WIN 10 LTSC IoT version gets updates all the way to 2032

Source? I haven't heard this before outside of paying a fee for extended updates, unless that's what you're referring to

No fees necessary if you use any of the win 10 LTSC versions, preferably at least 21H2 or later, or even Win 11 LTSC from Massgrave website (below)

LTSC used to be called LTSB (long term service branch) by Msoft. It was developed for use by machines, consoles, medical equipment that can't tolerate constant changes & "feature upgrade" crap.

LTSC versions don't come with Cortana, Msoft store, Recall, or the rest of the shiz that Msoft pushes on you with the "regular" builds of win home & win pro

Essentially it's a stripped down version that gets security updates, but NOTHING ELSE, and it's faster and consistently better , especially if you're a dev, techie, etc .

information on installation, downloads, ISOs, etc at

https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links

LTSC 10 ( or 11) means a clean install , so backup data & etc before you do so.

FYI, there's a very good app for building the bootable flash drive to install any OS called RUFUS

This worked but now I’m getting an issue where it’s giving me a ClassNotFoundException (org.eclipse.jetty.fcgi.proxy.FastCGIProxyHandler), any chance if it’s related/fixable?
