[kepler-users] Vista Problems

[Kenneth Evans, Jr.]

Hi,

 

I just learned about Kepler and am getting familiar with it.  I installed it
on Windows XP, but when I tried to install it on Vista, it hung several
times but eventually succeeded.

 

Unfortunately, I get an exception using File | Open.

Reinstalling didn't help.  I've spent a couple of hours working on it.  The
mailing list archives are hard to search, but I didn't see anything on Vista
in the first few.  Does anyone have any advice / suggestions?

 

I installed the version with the JRE (kepler-1.0.0beta3-jre.exe) since the
working JRE on my system is 1.6.0_03, and it said that wouldn't work. Is
there a way to specify the JRE, rather than installing the JRE alongside
Kepler?

 

Thanks,

 

        -Ken
