 Sure I'll give that a try.  I thought I had the latest  release, just downloaded it a few days ago - did they just come out with a new one?
 
 If I install the latest, does the script un-install the previous version I just installed?

I'm also wondering if I got the correct JRE?  I got the JRE from here:
