Hi Ed,

Here's another interesting fact about the 1.11.0 Apollo release, which is
that neither version (bundled JRE + no bundled JRE) works on my 64-bit (AMD)
Vista machine.  The installation process runs fine but then when I try to
start Apollo, either from the command-line or using the Windows Start menu,
I get a dialog box that says it failed and something to the effect of "maybe
an exception occurred in the main method."  (I don't have the machine booted
into Vista right now and I can't remember the exact text.)  I discovered
there's a simple workaround, which is to delete the apollo.vmoptions file in
the main Apollo install directory; presumably the -Xmx setting was causing
problems (even though it was set to way below the real memory size of the
machine).  Someone else here tried the install on a Windows XP machine and
reported that it worked OK, and they didn't have to delete the
apollo.vmoptions file.  Anyway, you might want to add a note to the Windows
install instructions to try removing apollo.vmoptions if it doesn't work out
of the box (and I'd also be interested to hear if you're able to replicate
the bug on another Vista machine.)  Thanks,

Jonathan
