  • Important Notes:
    • The initial installation steps may require a System Administrator to install and configure the software. Once the variables are set and verified, you can run NeXtMidas on your own.
    • All path names, user names and directories used in NeXtMidas cannot contain any spaces. (This is keeps NeXtMidas on Windows compatible with its Unix counterparts.)
      • NeXtMidas will not run correctly on Windows if there are spaces in the Java installation pathname.
      • Java must be installed in a path that contains no spaces. The default installation path for Java usually looks like this:
        c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_04 -> this is BAD
      • To ensure Java is installed without spaces in the pathname, select a Custom (instead of Typical) installation. Install Java in a directory with no spaces in the name. Most users choose to install under c:\java\
        c:\java\jdk1.5.0_04             -> this is GOOD
Don't Make This Mistake:
Java must be installed in a path that contains NO SPACES for NeXtMidas to work correctly.
