Bob,

I downloaded the file and tried it on Windows 98, 2K and XP Pro. All failed
with the error message: 'Setup cannot write to the destination file
"\lib\javax.comm.properties".' Is there any preparation needed on the
computer before running the installation program? Also, when the installer
splash screen opens, the program pauses until a key is struck or the mouse
is clicked with the cursor within the white area. We probably need a
"Strike any key to continue" message or a "Continue" button. Otherwise, it
just seems to hang without any clue as to what action to take.

Hope this is helpful. I'll be watching for others' responses as well as
your comments.

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?

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

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.

Am working off a huge email backlog, call if it's urgent.

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:

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?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Aleksandar
