Thanks Steven! I suppose I should file that last question under the 'duh' category! Okay, so I tried to open it with a right click-> open with-> java, but it didn't work. A dos screen pops up, then quickly disappears. Hmmmm. I tried to open it with 'javaw' (java virtual machine launcher) but it says 'could not find the main class. Program will exit.' Any ideas? Thanks Steven!!! -----Original Message----- From: blu...@li...

If you're one Windows and Java is set up to be associated with Jar files, double-clicking the jar will start the installer. If you don't have Java associated with Jar files, then you should be able to right click the Jar and have an option to run with Java. Hope that helps! steven On 12/15/06, jared <mic...@ms...> wrote: > Hey all, > > Are the beta's that are being sent out MAC only?
