Another of our IT Techs was installing robocode on laptops and got
the "Failed to load Main-Class". He reports that the way to solve this
issue is thusly:
1. After downloading from sourceforge, rename the downloaded robocode-
setup-1.6.0.1 file and change .zip extension to .jar
2. Click on the new .jar file to install robocode
The download process does say that the source is a .jar. However, upon
saving, it turns into a .zip Double clicking the .zip in Windows XP
unpackages using .zip format. Clicking on the resulting "extract" file
to load robocode will produce the "Failed to load Main-Class" error.
So the question is why the original jar file changed to .zip?
