Installation Help

If you are having trouble installing the Draft Analyzer, it is most likely caused by the version of Java installed on your computer (requries Java Version 1.4.2 or greater...most computers purchased in 2005 or sooner have a more updated version and are therefore okay).

If you are having any difficulty installing or running the Draft Analyzer (and have not been able to install or run the software on your computer in the past), follow these steps:

  1. Check Add/Remove Programs in your Control Panel
    1. Remove the Draft Analyzer program(s), if they are included in the list of programs
    2. Remove any versions of Java Run-time Environment 1.4.1 (or less)
  2. Download and save set-up file from www.downloaddraftanalyzer.com/draftanalyzerjava.exe
    1. This file includes the full version of Java 1.4.2 and will install this on your computer if needed
  3. Run/Open program called draftanalyzerjava.exe that you just saved to your computer
    1. If Java is required, this program will automatically install it for you
    2. The Draft Analyzer program will be installed
    3. Once installation is complete and you press Finish, the Draft Analyzer will launch (unless you uncheck the option to Launch Draft Analyzer)

Note:  You can always remove any version of Java from the Add/Remove Programs option in your Control Panel.  You can install the latest version of Java directly from Sun's website at: www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp
