2. Download and install the Java Access Bridge for Microsoft Windows Operating System:

1. Go to http://java.sun.com/developer/earlyAccess/accessbridge/ and download the compressed zip file. An older version is available at http://java.sun.com/products/accessbridge/.
2. Extract the zip file and navigate to the Installer folder. Execute the file Install.exe.
