Locked Re: Looking for a brave soul to try a Windows install er


 

Bob,

As you must have suspected, my machines did not have the Java software
installed. I installed Java 1.4.0. When I type "java -version" I get:

__________________
D:\>java -version
java version "1.4.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-b92, mixed mode)
_______________________

Having done this, I re-ran the install and it seemed to complete correctly.

When I clicked on the DecoderPro icon on the desktop, it blinks, but nothing
seems to happen.

If I execute "decoder pro" from within a command prompt defaulted to the
d:\program files\jmri folder, I get the user interface which looks
reasonable. I am not connected to my railroad now. The program interface
seems to work o.k. When I quit, the command prompt window contains:

Thanks for trying, sorry it didn't work. Yes, that's helpful.

Somehow the installer seems to have failed to find the Java version
you've got installed. That's the tricky bit, and I've probably not
made it robust enough.

Would you be willing to do a couple things for me?

First, could you look in "C:\Program Files\" to see if there's a
"Java" or "JavaSoft" folder in there? And if there is, what does it
contain?

It contains: D:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.0

Second, could you open a DOS window and type "java -version", then
tell me what it says?

D:\>java -version
java version "1.4.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-b92, mixed mode)

Thanks!

As to that first splash screen, I hope it's temporary. The installer
is built with a tool from MindVision. I've talked to them about
letting us use it for free. So far, they've agreed that use for
"occasional tests and demos" is OK, and I'm still hoping that they'll
allow me to use it for distributing free software. If they do, that
first splash screen goes away.

Bob
