Current Page: NeXtMidas Training Installing NeXtMidas Installing on Windows Important Notes
- - - | 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.
