>Failed to open E:\Program Files\IDV\auxdata.jar Data object "E:\Program Files\

The file you tried to open (auxdata.jar) is part of the code for
the IDV but does not contain any data.  

You can download some sample data from the IDV downloads page that
can be used along with the workshop materials.
