Hello, The standalone application launcher scripts, GUIKitApplication.bat (for Windows) and GUIKitApplication.sh (for Unix) are just examples of calling GUIKit definitions as standalone applications by calling an installed Java VM (possibly the one included with Mathematica). If you look at the contents of GUIKitApplication.bat you will find that it uses three environment variables to determine the location of Mathematica, the location of GUIKit, and the location of your Java VM: MATH_HOME, GUIKIT_HOME, JAVA_HOME. You actually would only possibly need to make sure MATH_HOME points to the installation of your Mathematica distribution, since the default GUIKIT_HOME and JAVA_HOME paths default to paths relative to MATH_HOME. Of course by assigning these three environment variables independently you can customize where your installed files are. Since you are not finding the main class I think it is not finding GUIKIT_HOME properly. Either set the value of MATH_HOME in your user environment to the location of your installed Mathematica or modify the default path within GUIKitApplication.bat. Seeing the full path and arguments to call Java appropriately with the right classpath in this file is just one way of launching a Java VM to run a GUIKit definition as a standalone application. Once you see the list of required Java classpath files and the option to point to the location of the Mathematica installation you can use any other Java launching deployment tool that you may have.
