Solved the problem - Apparently calling "java" from the command line called a different jre (C drive) than my main jre (D drive), even though the jre on the C drive was not in my path, but the jre on the D drive was(!!). Wouldn't normally be an issue, except that another java program I installed earlier had installed its own parser in the lib\ext directory of the jre on the C drive, which was being used instead of the xerces parser. I changed the JAVACMD variable to point to the right jre, and voila.
Thanks for the help.
