Hi,

I'm not able to test on Win7 x64 at the moment, but it might work in the 32-bit version of the Java Runtime, which can still be installed in a 64-bit environment. Download it from here (click the Download JRE button and select the 'normal' Windows version, listed as jre-6u21-windows-i586.exe).

This should install in the C:/Program Files (x86)/Java folder so you'll need to modify the MapOrganiser batch files to point to the C:/Program Files (x86)/Java/bin/java.exe file instead...

Cheers,
Stephen

(but if the above is too much effort, then XP Mode is a good workaround anyhow ;-)
