SPROG DCC JRE Installation on Windows

You need the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 11 or 17installed on your computer to run the current version of JMRI DecoderPro, the application software required to use your SPROG device.
Note: this is NOT the same as getting a Java update in a web browser such as Firefox or Internet Explorer.
To check if you have Java, you can open a "DOS" Window (Start Menu > Run..., type "cmd" and Click OK),
and in the DOS window type "java -version". You will see java version "17.0.15" or something similar if java is correctly installed.

If you don't yet have Java installed, you can get Java 17 from either Azul (scroll down to the right version 17 downloads) or by going to Adoptium (Eclipse) (get the ".msi" for easy install).

If you do not have internet access, click here to copy Azul Java JRE 17. Go to your downloads folder (you may need to agree security requests) and double-click on the zulu17.54.21-ca-jre17.0.13-win_x64.msi item to run the Windows Installer.

You must run the Java installer for version 17 (or have previously loaded Java 11 or 17) before running the JMRI installer in the next step, or it will issue an error message and stop.

Next install JMRI.
