If it is Java 6 - where can I download it? If I go to the ORACLE website, it's like a maze. I can't seem to find it. Thanks for your help!

If you don't have Java installed, you wouldn't be able to run MinimServer. It shouldn't matter whether you have Java 6 or Java 7, because MinimServer is compatible with both of these.

You can use this page to check which version of Java you currently have installed. This page will also give you the opportunity to update Java to the latest version. It's a good idea to do this update in case there's some problem with your current Java installation.

After doing the update, check the Windows firewall inbound rules to see whether Java is listed. If you don't see Java listed in the firewall inbound rules, this might be the cause of the problem.
