System is Windows 2000 and Sun-JRE 1.5.0_15. The dos prompt shows the same Java error as quoted in my previous report. Windows 2000 and Sun-JRE 1.6.0_06: Same problem as before; when clicking on "Directory Server" in the console there is an error message about a missing fedora-ds-1.0.jar. Furthermore, when clicking on "Administration Server", even that one doesn't open anymore. Instead there is a similar popup windows complaining about a missing fedora-ds-1.1.jar. I'll try Java 6 on Linux tomorrow. Has anybody running a standalone IDM console? If yes - on which OS/Java version? Regards, Wolf
