Borland JBuilder Personal

[(Shovel)]

In the absence of a dedicated "programming forum".

Downloaded JBuilder from the borland website - it comes in zip format. Unzip and run the exe.
It then crashes and gives a java error like this:

java.lang.NullPointerException

I am confused. WinZip will let me view "part of the file" as a zip archive, which seems to be the Java 2 SDK rather than the whole of JBuilder.

The system is well within the required specs.
It's a Duron 800, 256 MB, Windows XP Home.

XP is supported in the readme.

Does anyone know if this is an uver screw up error? or if it is more lilely a corrupt download that is bad in the critical place?

Any help appreciated.
