spent hours with my dad trying to get it to work. for some reason java 6 isnt working on my computer no matter how many times we try downloading it off different sites each time greenfoot just keeps saying that it isnt installed and we cant find it in the browse option either. is there anyway to do it online without downloading it?

I couldn't get greenfoot to work either but my Dad went on Oracle and downloaded a certain Java package, you could try that x

You need to make sure you're downloading the JDK, not the JRE which is the more common download. If you navigate to here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html ...then click on the JDK button for either Java 7 or 6, then on your platform, Greenfoot should pick it up and work correctly.

Thanks now got the Java JDK downloaded and Greenfoot now loads up correctly. Got the MSVCR100.dll error with JDK 7 but this was corrected by downloading the dll into the greenfoot directory.

Good to know! Just so you're aware, the next Greenfoot release should be out soon and will negate the need for the DLL copying (the problem is fixed altogether.)
