Java error Message when importing xml to frameMaker 8

[LW White]

This is just a guess, but it sounds like Frame can't find the appropriate installation of the JRE. You might check your environment variables to see where the JAVA variable (I think that's it) is pointing to. If you're comfortable in the registry, you could also check the key noted below to see where it is pointing. Also, most obviously, check to make sure you do actually have an instance of java.dll in the correct location.

Best,
Leigh

Subject: Java error Message when importing xml to frameMaker 8

I have reconstructed a workstation, and am attempting to flow an xml file into a FrameMaker 8 template. When I attempt to do this I get the following error message:
 
Failed reading value of registry key
Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\Current Version
 
Error: could not find java.dll
 
Error: Could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment
 
The xml file is being imported by selecting it through a menu choice added internally through the Main Menu bar.
 
Java 6 Update 3 is the version being used.
 
I can successfully flow this file through my computer.
Any ideas what might be causing the error message and how it can be fixed?
