Data Explorer installation under Windows Vista
I'm not certain if this is the forum I should be posting feedback for the Data Explorer. I did post something to the Data Explorer Mailinglists. Also posted to Java development who recognizes the problem but offers no solution only a couple of work-a-rounds that haven't worked for me.
The problem is I'm unable to install and run the Data Explorer under Windows Vista.
My PC is currently running Windows Vista x64 with SP2 and all the latest fixpacks. Has been running quite well with no complaints.
After installing and attempt to run the Data Explorer I receive an error message: "This application requires a Java Runtime Environment > 1.8.0 (64 bit). Same error occurs also with the 32 bit Data Explorer. When you click on the error message your re-directed to a Java url to download the latest Java version.
Java installation produces a Java 1603 error message and doesn't appear Java is fully installed.
Java 1603 error: https://java.com/en/download/help/error_1603.xml
The Java work-a-rounds haven't worked because 1. I'm unable to locate a Data Explorer object to uninstall and 2. there is no Java Control Panel.
From a command prompt "java -version" produces
java version "1.8.0_121"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_121-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.121-b13, mixed mode)
Perhaps I can try to uninstall Java manually and/or perhaps try to restore the system to a previous version.
I'm wondering if anyone else within the candle power forums, running Vista, may have experienced the same problem and possibly found a solution.
