Hi there,
I am trying to install ARIS Express on my Windows 7 Pro 64bit system, but getting error after error. I am using the windows installer. When I first tried, I only had Java 1.7 installed. I then installed 1.6 as well and tried again with no luck. I then unistnalled 1.7, leaving only 1.6 behind and still no luck. I eventually got the non-Windows version to install and work, but now every time I try to launch it, it downloads the application again.
I really need help to get this working, and that it doesnt try to download everything each time I start it.
When using the windows instller, while it is downloading the packages, I get errors similar to "Unable to import the application". The installation wizard then completed and tells me that the installation was successful, but actually ARIS has not been installed.
Below are the details of the error I get:
