Thanks for the reply. I have managed to fix the problem. My JRE_HOME was pointing to Java 1.5, but my CLASSPATH was pointing to Java 1.6. And I couldn't get PL/Java 1.4 to install using Java 1.6.<div><br></div><div>Actually there was a further twist involving the ERP application Adempiere-3.4.2-s I was trying to install: it apparently won't run with Java 1.5, only with Java 1.6!</div>
<div><br></div><div>So I had to use Java 1.5 to install PL/Java, and then Java 1.6 to run the application Adempiere-3.4-2-s. </div><div><br></div><div>(I can't wait till deployment dependencies for big Java projects such as Adempiere ERP are always routinely encoded in an executable Maven POM file rather than scattered across the internet in how-to's and forums... but that's off-topic. :-)</div>

Thanks John.<br>

I did try the Windows installer you mentioned:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.adempiere.com/index.php/Windows_Installer" target="_blank">http://www.adempiere.com/index.php/Windows_Installer</a><br>
<br>
However, it gave an "erroneous" error message immediately after launching, saying that the version of Postgres installed on the machine was earlier than 8.1. This error message was wrong, since I had either:<br>
<br>
- NO Postgres installed (because I assumed that the Windows installer would include Postgres)<br>
<br>
- later I had Postgres 8.3 installed.<br>
<br>
The Windows installer quit immediately after displaying this message.<br>

then, I'd contact whatever support forums this project has. until you posted here, I'd never heard of this 'most popular ERP' package.<br>
<br>
btw, I also see that the newest versions no longer require PLJava, per <a href="http://www.adempiere.com/index.php/PLJAVA" target="_blank">http://www.adempiere.com/index.php/PLJAVA</a><br>
