Salem

I have tried with the standard version and enders

I get an error that say " Bad Installation. No JRE found in configuration file.

I uninstalled and re-installed, not sure whats next

Which java version do you have on your machine?

Salem requires you to have java 6, from the error message it seems that you have an earlier version. (or the default one is not java 6)

On a windows machine, you can find out the java version following these steps:
From the start menu, select Run
Type 'cmd' in the box, and press enter
A console appears, type 'java -version'
You should see something like this:

java version "1.6.0_24"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode)

1.6 is java 6.
