openscript will not start

okay, so I downloaded openscript from here:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/downloads/index-084446.html

It’s the proper place, windows 32 and 64 bit

install it (note had to do this as administrator)

C:\OracleATS\openScript\%USERPROFILE%\osworkspace\.metadata

containing:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2016-04-07 10:53:51.908
!MESSAGE An error occurred while automatically activating bundle org.eclipse.core.net (332).

What!  this is just a base installation, I’ve done nothing.  I’ve not chosen a JRE or a JDK – it just plain does not work.

!SESSION 2016-04-07 10:53:45.455 -----------------------------------------------
eclipse.buildId=unknown
java.version=1.7.0_71
java.vendor=Oracle Corporation
BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86, WS=win32, NL=en_US
Command-line arguments:  -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86

Note thiis is the included JRE version found in C:\OracleATS\openScript\jre

I get the above every time

“An eeror has occurred. See the log file C:\OracleATS\openScript\%USERPROFILE%\osworkspace\.metadata\.log”

I uninstall, reinstall.  Have problems with the helper service, try again and again

Eventually I try a different JRE – actually match it to the one on my machine (my mahine is 64bit BTW)

So Now…

I’m using jre

java version "1.8.0_77"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_77-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.77-b03, mixed mode)

Note that this is 32 bit

Start her up again (as admin) and finally I can log in. What a terribly painful experience.
