hm, well therein lies my problem. my windows system is set up and working with JRE 7 update 55
when i click on the .jar file link in the first post it is downloaded as a zip. what else needs to be setup beyond the JRE?
when i run the jar file in a console i get the following
C:\Program Files\Console2>java -jar C:\HouseOfMoto\FXZ_xt907\FXZ-ScriptGenerator.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/samuri/hom/fxz/ScriptGenerator : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0
