Step 1: Visit http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp. In the java downloads for Windows, locate the link "Windows Offline (32-bit)". Click that link, save the installer to your machine, and run it. Take all the defaults during the install, you should end up with a java directory in your 32 bit applications folder (c:\program files (x86))

Once 32 bit java is installed, do a quick check to make sure this directory exists:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin



Step 2: Replace the content of LexiconEditor.bat with the following:


echo off
rem Comment then next two lines if you do not need to add java to your path
set javapath="C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin"
set path=%path%;%javapath%

start "Acapela Lexicon Editor" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe" -jar LexiconEditor.jar
