for the java 8 case, the pathing jar approach appears to be implemented in tdeps 120.

Hi there, I have some trouble getting clj to work on Windows 10… (soory I’m a mac/linux guy)… installed according to https://github.com/clojure/tools.deps.alpha/wiki/clj-on-Windows with install location 1 `

1) \\Drive\Home\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules
wich only succeeded using powershell.exe -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -file … but fails to launch clj...

clj: The 'clj' command was found in the module ' ClojureTools', but the module could not be loaded.

Installed as local user… now first question would be how to get rid of the failed installation. deleting the module in \Documents\… does not work.

@defa fwiw, @ales.najmann has a nice scoop bucket to install clojure with

@defa I would recommend to start with https://scoop.sh/ installer and then https://github.com/littleli/scoop-clojure it could remind you of your favourite tools from Linux and Mac.

Thanks @borkdude and @ales.najmann, I will try that scoop.

littleli 2019-12-19T12:33:19.008400Z

@defa Also you get other benefits like an easy access to broad portfolio of scoops with popular software and command line tools.

@defa if you haven't already, definitely read the escaping quotes section: https://github.com/clojure/tools.deps.alpha/wiki/clj-on-Windows#escaping-quotes
