First of all: I would like to troubleshoot this problem myself but where are
the troubleshooting docs??
The Readme.txt talks about the "Troubleshooting FAQ below" but it's not in
the document. The link <http://freenetproject.org/index.php?page=faq>doesn't
contain a proper troubleshooting guide and the docs on
http://freenet.sourceforge.net/freenet4fools/ are very limited and have a broken link
to "More Help".
Are these docs still being written or is it just that they're hard to find?
Anyway, sorry if I am repeating an FAQ here but I have no way of checking.

18) What do you have in your .fproxyrc file? (Please insert here a copy of
the .fproxyrc file)
[FProxy]
# serverAddress points to the host:port on which you are running the Freenet node
serverAddress=tcp/127.0.0.1:8006
# Turns on and off FProxy content filtering. Some content may be
# dangerous to your anonymity. For example, if an HTML page in Freenet
# had an image embedded in it that was hosted on an HTTP server, the
# owner of that server could check everyone who had read the HTML
# page.
# The FProxy content filter attempts to warn you when a page in
# Freenet might contain threatening code. However, this is an
# experimental feature, and is NOT believed to combat ALL anonymity
# attacks. IF ANONYMITY is a HIGH PRIORITY, it is recommended that you
# not use a browser to explore Freenet. Filtering is turned off by default.
doFiltering=no
#Defines the MIME types that may pass through FProxy without warning
passthroughMimeTypes=application/octet-stream,application/pgp-keys,application/unknown,application/x-perl,application/x-
shellscript,application/zip,audio/basic,audio/midi,audio/mpeg,audio/x-aiff,audio/x-wav,image/cgm,image/g3fax,image/gif,image/jpeg,image/png,image/tiff,image/x-
xbinmapimage/x-xpixmap,image/x-xwindowdump,text/plain
19) To what extent is Freenet operational? Please describe what is actually
working:
Cannot start at all, no logging upon startup attempts.
20) What problem are you having with Freenet? Please be specific, and cut-n-paste
any applicable error messages
you have received:
When attempting to start node, can only get blinking crossed-out rabbit/red
dot in intray. Sometimes the normal rabbit is displayed for a splitsecond when start
is
attempted.
Using fproxy.exe (or other CLI programs) gives:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1/2\bin\java/exe Freenet/client/InsertClie
nt -serverAddress tcp/127/0/0/1:8006
clearly the problem is this bit: "JRE\1/2" rather than "JRE\1.2" but how do I
change this? It's set OK in JLaunch.ini
