Getting MegaMek and MegaMekLab to Run

[Nips]

Hey all.

I was really interested in trying out the new release, but alas I've run into an error that I can't get over.

(In Windows) On starting the MML executable, I get an error popup:
Java Virtual Machine Launcher
Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again

Followed by:
Java Virtual Machine Launcher
A Java Exception has occurred.

Trying to get MM itself to run, and I get just the Java Exception popup.

So....that's helpful?  I've uninstalled and reinstalled Java any number of times to try and fix this problem.  I can open up the Java Control Panel, and it says I have Version 8 Update 221 (build 1.8.0_221-b11) installed.  That should be sufficient, right?

Anyone that could give some pointers here would be helpful.

Sounds like a bad java install.

I would uninstall and reinstall it. Make sure you grab Java 8 64 bit.  Also google "Adding Java to Windows path statement"
