Windows 7 Install Problem

Hi Folks,

Have just had a new SSD installed on my laptop with a fresh install of Win7 and I'm having a few problems getting the game to update and run.

Error that I'm running into is when the engine tries to update it's giving me a java.io.filenotfoundexception error - so the engine doesn't seem to be able to update. It gets to the end, I get the splash screen (music starts) and it never goes any further?

Suggestions anyone? (I've checked and have the most up to date version of java installed).

That is the problem I run into when I don't run as administrator.

Yeah I am running it as administrator though :-(

Also checked (and went through the steps) stuff on the troubleshooting page. Have restarted my system as well to make sure it wasn't anything which was partially installed.

Just odd because I've never had any issues with installing DW before.

Well it seems to have let me into the client now, though it still gave the java error when trying to update. I can spectate events at very least so it "seems" to be running - am still a little concerned about the client having not updated properly though.

Try installing both 32- and 64-bit versions of Java.

Could it be a problem of installing java to one harddrive and DW to another? :mad:
