 Is there a solution?

Please uninstall and try the alpha installer:
http://downloads.freenetproject.org/alpha/installer/FreenetInstaller-alpha-1295.exe

Please let me know whether it works.

Plus, I'd be interested to know what you mean by it is awfully complex and 
difficult to figure out - presumably it did work at some point, what 
difficulties did you have, what was unclear, what did you get stuck on etc?

To all those who are getting this problem:

I found a solution to at least get Freenet running. The problem seems to
be with the wrapper (i.e. wrapper-windows-x86-32.exe command in the
Freenet\bin installation directory). The wrapper controls the
installing, removing and start and stopping the Freenet service. It
seems this, on some systems, does not install the service properly. My
solution involves running the service as a console application using the
-c switch.

Method: Open a command box. CD to your Freenet\bin installation
directory, and type the following command:

wrapper-windows-x86-32.exe -c ..\wrapper.conf

The command box will then show you a whole shed load of info messages as
the Freenet service runs (this can actually be quite useful to see what
is going on). Note that the tray icon now doesn't do anything as that
was controlling a proper service, we're now running it as a console
application and the command box remains open while it is running.

To stop the service, select the command box and type CTRL-C, this should
cleanly shut the service down.

I don't know the implications of permissions but this certainly works
when logged in with admin privileges.

If you want to create a batch file to do this use the CD command to
change directory to the Freenet\bin installation directory and put the
following 3 lines in your batch file. You can then either place this
batch file in your startup directory or start it manually:

REM start freenet service as console application
cd C:\Program Files\Freenet\bin
wrapper-windows-x86-32.exe -c ..\wrapper.conf

Mark.

 Hi,
 
  
 
 I am sure that you have heard of this problem before.
 
  
 
 I have tried loading freenet on Vista 32 and Win XP. I get the same response. 
 I also tried installing with my firewall down and that had no effect. I do 
 have java version 6 installed.
 
  
 
 What should I do next?

Recent versions of the installer have a change which might fix this bug. Please 
could you uninstall Freenet and try again? If that doesn't work, please let us 
know, our windows expert may be able to help you or give you a new installer to 
test. Thanks!
