I cant get the editor to work. I've tried to every online guide to no avail. It was working fine last time I played which was a year or 2 ago. I've downloaded both latest versions of Java, even tried reinstalling. I really don't want to have to start my game over. Can anyone help me?
First make sure you have the version for the Enhanced Edition.
This pic shows my shortcut.
The Target: for the default location of javaw.exe in win 10 is.
C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath\javaw.exe -Xmx256m -jar TWEditor.jar
(you can copy and paste the above line if yours is in the default location)

The Start in: field is wherever you installed the editor.

I've never had to do it, but you can add the full path to your witcher directory in the command line.
javaw -DTW.install.path="C:\Games\The Witcher" -jar TWEditor.jar

When you say directory do you mean the main game directory? Or the save Game directory?

Just going by this example in the readme, I would say the documents folder.
"C:\Documents and Settings\Ronald Hoffman\My Documents\The Witcher" (that would be Win 7)

I don't know man I still can't get it to work. But I appreciate your help. Maybe I can find somebody with a working editor who can drop a few items in one of my savegames. But I'm giving up for now.

Post a link to your save & your shopping list and I'll add them for you.
Try Jarfix, a little utility to fix associations with Java. It worked for me. I can now simply set a shortcut for my .jar file.
