Hi Chuck,
OOo 3.4 Beta can't find Java 1.7.0-ea-b138 (the current SE7 Developer
Preview Release) in Windows XP.
It can detect and use Java JRE 6 Update 24.
the Office installer knows only the version that is pre-delivered with
the OOo software package (resp. it was built with) but no older or newer
versions. So, it doesn't know of other versions and therefore cannot
find them.
Java 1.7.0-ea is not listed. When I navigate to its installation
directory (D:\Java\jre7\) and select it, the following popup appears:
"The folder you selected does not contain a Java runtime environment.
Please select a different folder."
This information is based on new, clean installs of OOo and both Java jre's.
This problem might also exist in OOo 3.3.
If this 1.7 version is important for you, you can try to rename the path
to the 1.6 JRE installation and name the 1.7 path like it was for the
real 1.6. I'm not sure if it will work but you could give it a try. For
sure a dirty hack but maybe it fits your needs.
HTH
Best regards
Marcus
