Trouble with JasperETL installation

Hello

I urgently need to install JasperETL and I have failed to do so. I unzipped under C:\JasperETL-All-r12707-V2.3.2
then, tried running:
JasperETL-win32-x86
and all I got was the splash welcome picture, then nothing.

I have been reading older posts and I am guessing that my problem has to do with the JVM.
I ran java -version on my cmd line and got the following:
java version "1.4.2_03"
Java (TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_03-b02)
I understand I need 1.5 or older, so I went online and bumped into a Java Version tester at java.com that confirms I have (Version 6 Update 5). Javaterster.org confirms I have Java Version: 1.6.0_05 from Sun Microsystems Inc.
Last but not least, i checked the java version using the Java menu on the buttons on the lower-left corner of the Start panel, and that confirmed I have:
Java Plataform SE Version 6, update 5 (Java Version: 1.6.0_05-b13)

So I am very confused! :(
I need to solve this Java issue! Any tips!?!?!?!

Thank you very much!!!!!!!!
Ana

P.s: I am attaching a screen image showing the cmd line and the java About window....

I forgot to upload the image but i think it won´t be necesary.

I went into
C:\Archivos de programa\Java
where i should have my j2res,jdks,jres or whatev. installed and surprisinlgy i found:
\_j2re1.4.2_05
\_jdk1.5.0_06
\_jdk1.6.0_04
\_jre1.5.0_06
\_jre1.6.0_04
\_jre1.6.0_05

I am guesing tha's the root of my problem.
How should I approach the un- and re-installation (if necesary) of my java platform???

Thank you,
Ana

Hi Ana,

It shouldn't be necessary to uninstall or re-install Java. It's fine to have multiple versions installed.

Probably the only thing you need to update is your value for JAVA_HOME. Make sure this points to jdk1.5.0_06 and then you should be OK.

Regards,
Matt
