Are you using the REW installation that has its own Java runtime? If not, try using that - this thread suggests it might be an issue with an existing Java runtime. Another option is to put the startup flags mentioned in that thread in the roomeqwizard.vmoptions file in the REW installation directory (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\REW). You may need to copy the file to your desktop to edit it and copy it back afterwards. These are the flag entries they used:

-Djavax.accessibility.assistive_technologies
-Djavax.accessibility.screen_magnifier_present=false

Thanks John.

on reflection my first post was a bit sh!t

The issue i am having is not trying to start the application. I cannot install it. I get this error

I have tried starting the installed from powershell using the flags but it did not make any difference.

On basis of the thread you pointed to i did a bit of digging. I 'Eventually.........' discovered that Bome Midi translater pro' that i had installed asks a question about installing access bridge for reading PDFs (cannot remember the exact tickbox) but its only visible on a custom install.

I assume that this was the culprit as once i uninstalled this i was able to install using the rew version without JRE.

Its now installed.

Cheers

John
