the wallet does not open me in windows

Here are some instructions on how to start the wallet.

This is a pre-release.
You will need to install Java Runtime environment to run the Graphical user interface wallet.
https://java.com/en/download/

Zcash Parameters
================
You will need to install the cash-parameters on your computer.

If you have run daemon wallets for other coins listed below, you wil likely already have this installed.:
BitcoinZ
Zcash
ZEN
SnowGem
ZEL
Zclassic
BitcoinPrivate
SAFEcoin

If you haven't run any of these before, then download the following:

http://downloads.bzedge.org/sprout-proving.key
http://downloads.bzedge.org/sprout-verifying.key

Open a command prompt type cmd at start menu. This will open a black window with white text.
Assuming you have downloaded to your downloads folder. then copy and paste each of these three
lines one at a time into the cmd window, pressing return after each.

mkdir "%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Roaming\ZcashParams"
move “%HOMEPATH%\Downloads\sprout-proving.key” “%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Roaming\ZcashParams”
move “%HOMEPATH%\Downloads\sprout-verifying.key” “%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Roaming\ZcashParams


Setting up BZEdge conf
======================
When you have your proving keys, paste the following into your cmd window:

mkdir "%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Roaming\BZEdge"
notepad "%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Roaming\BZEdge\bzedge.conf"

Notepad will open. Put the following in the file then save. You should change the rpcuser and rpcpassword.

daemon=1
showmetrics=0
rpcuser=something
rpcpassword=secure


Now double click on your BZEdgeWallet.jar. It will take a while to synchronise. The progress will be shown in the
lower right hand corner. As of July 2018, it will need to download about 2.1Gb of blockchain.

Keep up to date
===============
The BZedge daemon is in rapid development, and needs to be updated approximately fortnightly until late August 2018.
This most likely only needs the bzedged.exe file swapped for the latest.
