< Formiko> for some reason it is not detecting that on your PC The quick fix is to just grab a JRE folder and copy it into the root of the ContentBox Express folder and try starting it again There are instructions in RUNNING txt that talk about creating a setenv bat file but its probably easier just to copy that JRE folder over

There is a second issue to be aware of that I created a bug ticket for <https ortussolutions atlassian net browse CONTENTBOX 1425>

Basically you will need to comment out line 87 in webApps ROOT Application cfc and copy the contents of webApps ROOT config datasource cfm under that commented out line

Also if the browser doesn t open for you look at the terminal to get the bound port For me it was this `http nio 8085` and the site came up at `<http 127 0 0 1 8085 >`
