FAQs: Installation Help

I can’t seem to open the program (I click the football icon, but nothing happens)?

  • This problem is caused because the program doesn’t recognize Java on your computer for either of the following reasons:

    • 1. Your computer has multiple versions of Java installed (remove multiple versions and re-install the Draft Analyzer)

    2. Your computer has a very old version of Java installed (update to the latest version of Java from here and re-install the Draft Analyzer)

  • Solution:

    • Uninstall Draft Analyzer

    Use Add/Remove Programs from your Control Panel to remove all versions of Java (you can always download the latest version of Java free from here)

    Re-install the Draft Analyzer from Download Now link above or from here.

    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)

What version of Java is required to run the program?

  • The Draft Analyzer software was originally built using Java v1.4.2 (circa 2003/2004)
  • The Draft Analyzer software has been tested on every Java update since then and should work with any version of Java greater than v1.4.2
  • The Draft Analyzer can run on Macs with Window's installed, however, this installation set-up has not been tested by us and we are unable to support it at this time
  • You can download the latest version of Java directly from Sun's website here.

What if I am still having problems installing the Draft Analyzer for the first time?
