I can see the jython jar file in the folder I installed the IDV, did you see this file? Yuan > The error above occurs upon startup (no particular bundle being opened). I > can't find the zipped file that the error refers to, "java.util.zip", on my > machine (which would certainly explain why there's an error opening it). > Should the file perhaps be there somewhere, and if so, where?
