Dear Gentlemen, please, can we go from beginning?
I have XP and same problem.
How and what I need to install Java?
Do I have to know something or anything about Java, for install and
using JMRI?
I think the simplest approach is:
1) Download the installer from and run it
2) If Java is not present, it will take you to a Sun download page & quit. Click the download button on that page, follow any instructions that come up, and wait for it to complete. (It's a big download, and may take some time)
3) Rerun the installer again. It should go OK this time.
4) From the Start Menu -> Programs -> Jmri run the DecoderPro program. A preferences window will pop; select your DCC type (NCE, EasyDCC, etc), comm port, and click "save". You'll be asked if you want to quit, say yes.
5) Restart the program and you're ready to go.
(I've not yet updated the README file to use the above steps, will do that soon).
You don't need to know anything about Java, and the new installer is supposed to handle all the rest of the details.
One problem: Windows XP will _not_ work with a Digitrax LocoNet via a MS100 yet. If you have a Digitrax command station, you'll need to use a LocoBuffer, or wait a week or two.
