Hi there!
I think we found a syntax error in the labrad.bat from Scalabrad 0.8.3 distribution. I was installing scalabrad v.0.8.3 on new windows system on 8/20/18. (I downloaded from bintray) Java and JDK were installed, and working, and path was in system variables. When I tried to run labrad I got this error:

Looking at the batch file, it seems there was a syntax error around where java should startup: (missing quotation marks)

Fixed Syntax and labrad started normally:


Hopefully this is helpful!
