[nvda] Java Access B bridge

Dear List

Can anybody  help  with this query.

I am considering a Project where I try and make available training in free
screen reading / office software for a local low vision  forum. I need to
test this out for feasibility. I am going to use NVDA and Open Office.

I downloaded and installed and then updated Java from Sun Microsystems.
I downloaded and installed open office org.

The stumbling block I have is that I need to install the Java Access Bridge
. I have download the zip file from Sum systems and run the installer.exe
file which is found in the Installer directory of the extracted folder The
notes accompanying the files are a model of how not to set up user friendly
guidance..

The error message I receive when I run this installer.exe is 

No Java VMs found
No Java virtual machines found which will support the Java Access 
Bridge.  Search more? 

Accepting the option to search more creates a bizarre error message saying
"no disc ". This error message in turn  is impossible to exit from unless
you restart your computer.  
I tried Googling this and although there were several people experiencing
the same problem no solutions appeared to be posted.

I copied the Java Access Bridge folder onto the
c drive but received identical results.

Re-installing Java produces no improvement. Java is there in my control
panel but the applet appears to be inaccessible.

In the extracted Access Bridge folder are a couple of dll files. Can I
simply copy them somewhere
for this to all work? Is there a simpler access bridge installer which I can
download and use? I have virtualised the access bridge folder below if that
is any help for anybody..
