Do you have a good Java runtime installed? I'm guessing Maker needs Java to run Xerces (funny, I always assumed they used the C++ version). Somehow it can't find a runtime. So you need to verify that you can run other Java programs on your system. (Just grasping at straws here, but that's the first thing I'd try.) If you do have a JRE properly installed, I would worry about version compatibility. I thought Java wasn't supposed to break backward compatibility, but maybe that's your problem -- too new of a JRE???
That's the area I'd consider. If all else fails, try re-installing jave. If that fails, try re-installing Maker??? By all means, try editing your Registry, but NEVER tell anybody I suggestat that is a good idea. I will categorically deny it. cud
