I have just spent the last 4 1/2 hours trying to get JQPlus 500 to run on my computer. Since my exam is Sunday and I can only study in the evenings, it has been a tremendous waste of time--at this point I'm regretting purchasing the software due to the difficulty in installation.
I have a Dell Inspiron running Windows 98. I am running
Java version 1.3. I know it works b/c I run it with Forte and I just opened it to see if its still working....no problems. Also, at the Ms DOS prompt, typing: java -version results in: java version "1.3.0"
I downloaded jqplusroc.jar to C:\WINDOWS\TEMP.
I have included EVERYTHING I tried, perhaps you can identify the problem:

Lastly, clicking on the actual icon in the folder does nothing. I tried using WinZip to open it, and it just re-creates a copy of it which does mothing when you click on it. Do I have to have Forte open or something??? Is the fact that I have the SDK associated with the
IDE messing things up?
A whole evening down the drain, I'm extremely frustrated, I hope someone can help.
Sincerely,
Roger Chase
PS....Part of the problem may be that I never use the MS DOS prompt.....
