Hello, I'm trying to install downscaleR on Windows 7 (64 bit) and getting the following error:

Hey javakh! Were you able to install it? I have a similar problem but I cannot even install the downscaleR.java package :(.

Hi guys,

We just solved the problem on our server, I'm not sure if you have the same problem as we had, just put the solution as reference.

First we located the problem, as our experience, all the problems with the package came from java. So, it was probably the java problem of the computer.

In the installation, you have to set environment variables, adding your java path to your path. I have tried a lot of times installing different versions of java, which didn't work.

Then we thought only reinstall java wouldn't work.

We found a machine, which has downscaleR previously installed. And copy the java folder to our server, put it into different location, and reset environment variables (path) to that location. And it worked.

Anyway, I still think it was by luck that it worked. Because when I set the path back to original, it still worked. So I guess maybe, in the process above, something had solved problem that we didn't know, e.g. path or java_home or something related.

Well I hope that worked to you guys. And if any of you find the real problem, pls contact me, thx.
