A program written in Java was installed in Windows, but is not launched

ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
Windows 10 Education / 64-bit OS / Java versions installed include 9.0.1 and 1.8.0_152

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I have installed a software that is written in Java (ESOM Databionic Tools) in Windows 10. However, it is not launched and is not included in Start Menu either. This is the link to the installation guide: http://databionic-esom.sourceforge.net/install.html
To be more specific, when I execute the esomana from the directory in which the application has been installed, this is what I get in cmd:

"configuration file not found: C:\etc\esom.conf
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (databionics.esom.Analyze).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly."

I appreciate if you could help me with this. By the way, I already have the full access/admin privilege on this machine.


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Download the .jar installer file from this link: http://databionic-esom.sourceforge.net/install.html
Execute the installer.
Execute the esomana from "bin" directory located where the software was installed.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
It's expected to have an option in Start Menu entitled "Databionic ESOM Analyzer", which is not there.
Alternatively, by executing the esomana file from "bin" directory, the software should be launched.
ACTUAL -
