[Jalview-discuss] cannot install jalview on windows 7 64 bit - help anyone?

[Jim Procter]

  Hi Bino.

I've checked up at the InstallAnywhere site - there don't appear to be 
any issues with windows 7 (32bit or 64bit) so its almost certainly to do 
with the way we build Jalview. I've opened an issue here:

Ok. Clearly InstallAnywhere isn't working - but I'd still like to know 
if you can run jalview via the webstart mechanism.. can you try clicking 
this link ? It will start Jalview via webstart :
