Re: Problem creating a Data Base in OO Base
Thanks. I believe that I have tried all that but still no success. One thing I noted however was that the screen where you check that you want to run a JAVA Runtime environment, also says: "Java Runtime Environments already installed" Does this "installed": refer to the computer in general or to the particular Database I am trying to work with? Is it possible that I did succeed in installing a JRE but possibly the wrong one? How can I check this? On 10 May 2017 at 13:59, Keith N.
