I do have Java installed. It is there in my system tray. However I redownloaded the installation and ran an update. At the end I received a message that Java had been successfully updated.
I again ran the install.exe in the Java Access Bridge and again got the message. No Java VMs found No Java virtual machines found which will support the Java Access Bridge. Search more? Accepting the option to search more creates a bizarre error message saying "no disc ". This error message in turn is impossible to exit from unless you restart your computer. I copied the Java Access Bridge folder onto the c drive but received identical results. User friendly this is not! Has anybody else got any idea?

This means you do not have a version of Java installed on your computer. This means you will have to go to the Java web site and install the latest Java version. You can get the Java run time environment at the following address: http://www.java.com/en/download/windows_automatic.jsp Once you have installed the Java run time environment, uninstall and reinstall the Java Access Bridge. This will hopefully get things working for you. As a side note, I have not found Open Office to be very accessible. It is difficult to use for someone who must use a screen reader.

I am considering a Project where I try and make available training in free screen reading / office software for a local low vision forum. I need to test this out for feasibility. I am going to use NVDA and Open Office. The stumbling block I have is that I need to install the Java Access Bridge . I have download the zip file from Sum systems and run the installer.exe file which is found in the Installer directory of the extracted folder The notes accompanying the files are a model of how not to set up user friendly guidance.. The error message I receive when I run this installer.exe is "something like error - no VM found". Does anybody know what is going on here? Also in the extracted folder are a couple of dll files. Can I simply copy them somewhere for this to all work? Is there a simpler access bridge installer which I can download and use? I have virtualised the access bridge folder below if that is any help for anybody..
