Aha!

My machine has been rebooted several times since I installed Finale,
so that's not it.

Yes, that's it. This is a virgin install of WinXP. I don't follow the
Java wars much, but I do remember a flap a few years ago when MS
decided not to include Java by default. I've downloaded and installed
Java, and now I can install Dolet.
I would suggest that when the Dolet installer is run as part of the
Finale install, it should give the same error message about missing
Java that it does when I just ran it now, along with instructions on
how to install Dolet after Java has been installed.I would also
suggest that when the Dolet installer is run standalone, it should
have a dialog at the end to indicate completion -- it installed so
quickly I almost missed it.
Thanks for your help.
Aaron.
