If you want to create your own batch file : Go to EliteComixReader/dist folder where you will find the EliteComixReader.jar file. create a new document start.bat and include the following line to it: start javaw -jar EliteComixReader.jar

If it dosen't run : go to commnd prompt and use the follwing command : cd directory/where/you/have/your/jre7/bin

for instance : C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin is the default place.

now type java -jar folder/where/you/extracted/the/project/ElieComixReader/dist/EliteComixReader.jar
