Java 7 not supported.

In any case on Windows it must be a 32Bit JRE.

look faq 1958

I have it running on jre7. just had to go into Java folder and rename folder "jre7" to "jre6" and it should find the javaw file its searching for.

Sikuli does not work with Java 7 (screen capture problem) no matter how the folders are named !!!

I followed these steps: https://bugs.launchpad.net/sikuli/+bug/869842
and am now able to start up Sikuli X.

Haven't started working with it yet, so i cant say whether or not it will be able to do screen captures...
Stay tuned.

OK, Confirmed.

Sikuli X will not run with jre7. As soon as I attempt to take a screen shot, the app closes down. No error messages and nothing in the eventlog. :(

So, what am i to do now as i cannot find jre6 download anywhere and would i have to uninstall jre7 first? what about everything else that is running on jre7? im starting to doubt whether this is really the app for me.

It is still officially available here:

--- what about everything else that is running on jre7?
Everything should run with JRE 6 as well.
If there is any app, that depends on Java 7, it will tell you (but I doubt that you shave any)

If you want to stick with Java 7:
look faq 1958

Sorry for the typo:

Thanks.

Installing jre6 sorted the issue. Because it is an earlier version, I am able to run jre6 and 7 simultaniously.
(I just hope this doesnt cause issues later on).

Sikuli is now working :)
