This is a bit strange as the DecoderPro installer pretty much gets it right
now.
What OS and version of JAva are you using?
Do you have more than one version of Java or have you reinstalled Java since
you installed DecoderPro? If so reinstall DecoderPro again.
That is almost always because it has installed the Java commapi files into
the wrong locations.
There are two ways to resolve this:
1) The simple way is to uninstall DecoderPro and all installed versions of
the Java SDK and JRE. Then only install the most recent JDK/JRE which ever
you are using and then reinstall DecoderPro. Depending on you installation
you might not want to do this as it may bereak other Java packages.
2) The more difficult way is to fix the problem without removing anything:
- First work out which Java VM (if there are several) is being used by
DecoderPro and then you need to find out where it's files are on your disk.
To do this open a command shell and type:
java -version <ENTER>
and it should display its version string like:
H:\>java -version
java version "1.3.1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1-b24)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1-b24, mixed mode)
Then using this version information look in the registry to find an entry
for:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment
Then under that there is an entry for the "CurrentVersion" The value should
be something like 1.3 and then look below it and you will find more nodes
that match like:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.3
Under there will be a "JavaHome" entry that specifies where the files are.
Now go and download the Java Communication API from here:
and install it according to the instructions. Pay particular attention to
the place they say to instal the files as it will not work if you get it
wrong.
(Guess how I know how to fix this......)
