I really do not understand. Are files downloaded from our site
corrupted? We have slightly augmented our bandwidth recently so may be
we have problems with our Internet provider...
This is easy to check:
* setup.exe should be exactly 12,105,089 bytes long.
* setup-nojvm.exe should be exactly 3,634,469 bytes long.
If files downloaded from XMLmind.com are not corrupted and if you still
want to give XXE a try, here is what you can ultimately do:
[1] Install a Java runtime (for example Java 1.4 you de-installed).
[2] Open a Command Prompt or a MS-DOS window (whatever it is called now
on XP).
Type:
java
And hit the Enter key.
You should have a message similar to that:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Usage: java [-options] class [args...]
(to execute a class)
or java -jar [-options] jarfile [args...]
(to execute a jar file)
where options include:
-client to select the "client" VM
-hotspot is a synonym for the "hotspot" VM [deprecated]
-server to select the "server" VM
-classic to select the "classic" VM
If present, the option to select the VM must be first.
The default VM is -client.
-cp -classpath <directories and zip/jar files separated by :>
set search path for application classes and resources
-D<name>=<value>
set a system property
-verbose[:class|gc|jni]
enable verbose output
-version print product version and exit
-showversion print product version and continue
-? -help print this help message
-X print help on non-standard options
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If this is not the case, java is not in your PATH or Java installation
has failed. Unless you are a technical kind of person, the situation is
hopeless.
[3] Download
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_download/xxe-m13p1-bin.zip (2,505,055
bytes)
[4] Unzip it with a utility such as WinZip.
Let's say you have unzipped it under C:\xxe.
This will create a subdirectory called xxe-m13p1-bin
[5] Open a command prompt.
[6] Go to C:\xxe\xxe-m13p1-bin by typing:
cd C:\xxe\xxe-m13p1-bin<Hit Enter key>
[7] Edit xxe.bat using notepad.
Change the line:
set dist=D:\src\xmledit\distrib
to:
set dist=C:\xxe\xxe-m13p1-bin
[8] Run XXE by typing
xxe<Hit Enter Key>
in the command prompt.
[9] If this works, after that, you'll just have to double click on file
xxe.bat to launch XXE.
Sorry to show you all these gory details (but note that on Unix, this is
the only way to install XXE :-).
