A. Hints if installation/start fails

• Java 1.7 (or sometimes called Java 7) 8 has to be used. Although Java 1.7 8 was installed, it may happen that Java 1.6 is still used. a different version is used. Therefore, check if 1.7 Java 8 is used. Check also, if JAVA_HOME is set correctly.
  
  • On windows, you can check the version by open the command line to tool (go on "start", and "run" and enter "cmd", then press OK. In the command line enter "java -version" and hit enter. You should see some lines beginning with "java version "1.78.XXXX". if command is not found or another version is shown, check your Java installation.

  • On MacOS X, you may look at "B. Mac OS X and Java 1.7" in the next section.

• Be sure you downloaded the x86_64 version if you have a 64 bit operating system or the x86 version if you have a 32 bit operating system.
