描述

On Windows 10, when trying to double-click processing.exe without extracting from the .zip file, this message comes up:

However, if users ignore that message, then they'll see this next:

Which gives the wrong impression. Need a better way to detect this and bulletproof the startup process.

研究方向
Investigate how Processing currently detects its environment during startup. Look at the initial bootstrapping code in the processing application, likely in the `processing.app` package. The issue is to improve the check for whether the application is running from a compressed zip archive and to display a clearer error message instead of the misleading "Required files could not be found" dialog. Consider using Java's `ProtectionDomain` or checking whether the application's JAR is accessible as a regular file.
