 === Windows josm.exe ===#Mswindowswrapper
 Using josm-setup.exe for installation on Microsoft Windows does the following: 
- * Puts the files `josm-tested.jar` and `josm.exe` in directory chosen by the user, default is `C:\Program Files (86)\JOSM\` 
- * Suggests to register josm.exe as target for the file extensions `*.osm` and `*.gpx`.
- * Suggests to place JOSM shortcut icons on the Desktop and in the Start Menu (Currently they are placed for an admin only and can be copied from there, #11398).
- * Asks if the Plug-Ins Imagery offset database and Turn restrictions should be provided. 
+ * Puts two executable files `JOSM.exe` and `HWConsole.exe` in directory `%LOCALAPPDATA%\JOSM`
+ * Registers JOSM.exe as target for the file extensions `*.osm`, `*.geojson`, `*.gpx`, `*.jos` and `*.joz`.
+ * Places JOSM shortcut icons on the Desktop and in the Start Menu.
  * Adds uninstall data at the appropriate places.
 
-When starting, josm.exe searches its directory for the jar file and runs the command `\path\to\javaw.exe -Xms128m -Xmx1024m -jar \path\to\josm-tested.jar`. 
-Josm.exe acts as a ''wrapper'' and is [wikitr:/USB_Stick portable].
-
-When josm.exe finds the argument `--l4j-debug`, it writes the log file `launch4j.log` into the current directory if that is writeable. Some other [http://launch4j.sourceforge.net/docs.html#Runtime_options options] are possible and all usual [wikitr:/Help/CommandLineOptions#Programarguments JOSM Program arguments] too. See example:
+When starting, JOSM.exe starts JOSM with an embedded version of Java maintained by JOSM developers, based on Azul Zulu.

-While being a 32-bit program, josm.exe needs a 64-bit Java on a 64-bit Windows.
-Currently josm.exe is [/browser/josm/trunk/windows/launch4j.xml configured] to search for java in the [https://sourceforge.net/p/launch4j/feature-requests/127/ registry only] and to
