Q: How is Java Runtime location searched?
A: When the program starts, the search is performed in the following sequence:

1. Search the tools \ Java program directory. In this case, the program can be used as portable.
   
2. Checking the availability of Java specified in the program settings
   
3. Checking the health of the "java" system variable
   
4. Search in the Programm Files \ Java folder

If all levels fail, the program will display a message and close.

Q: I installed Java, but the program does not see it. What to do?
A1: Specify the location of java.exe in the program settings.
A2: Unpack this archive to the program directory on the path tools \ Java.
A3: Add java to system variables. How to do it .

Q: The program gives an error when unpacking.
BUT: Here we discuss the operation of the shell for apktool.jar, which in no way affects the operation of apktool.jar itself. You can address this kind of problem. here .

Breathe of fate for help with translating into Russian.
