i had three troubleshooting hours on windows 10 and ableton live 10, but i described a solution.
-> avoid special chars and blank space chars in paths!
-> ableton live 9: requires cycling 74, it's on board with ableton live 10
-> "max.java.config.txt":
ableton live 9: use location of Cycling '74 folder
ableton live 10: use location of ableton folder
-> i had no luck by loading deeploops as a preset device (alp), so i load deeploops.amxd always directly from deeploops-root folder

just add the new third option to "max.java.config.txt" file:
max.jvm.option -Djava.library.path=[deeploops-root]/bin
max.dynamic.jar.dir [deeploops-root]/java/lib
max.dynamic.class.dir [deeploops-root]/java/bin
and the problem with presets:
when saving the m4l device (.amxd) as a new preset (.adv), ableton imports/copy the deeploop.amxd deep into your Ableton "User Library" folder, which results in errors because of blank spaces in path, and the new preset/.adv references to this new amxd.
solution: clean/remove the new preset file and also the imported amxd file from:
User Library\Presets\MIDI Effects\Max MIDI Effect\Imported\deeploops.amxd
now create a copy of the whole [deeploops-root] folder to your "Max MIDI Effect\Imported" directory, e.g.:
User Library\Presets\MIDI Effects\Max MIDI Effect\Imported\deeploops\deeploops.amxd
and at least: import this amxd-file into ableton, save it as new preset and
tadaah :)
( the new deeploops.amxd-copy uses your initial blank-space-free path directory [deeploops-root], so just don't move it.)
