  • How to Update : Visit Windows Update (or Start / Windows Update), press the "Scan for Updates" button, and then install the "Security Update Microsoft Virtual Machine (Microsoft VM)" critical update. If not available, install Sun's Java (above).

Then download a new install EXE and try again. If problems persist, please contact us.
