Today I downloaded the "Installed Software Report Tool" from the "Tools" section of the z/VSE Downloads web page. You can find it here. I installed it on Windows to get a  report of the software installed on my z/VSE system. However, it did not work.

My colleague pointed me to a section, where we describe additional installation instructions for Windows. I migrated my notebook from Windows XP to Windows 7 mid of last years. For Windows 7 the Java installation process does no longer copy the Java executable (java.exe) into the Windows system folder. Instead you have to add the java.exe location to the PATH variable in the system settings.

After that change the "Installed Software Report Tool" just run fine and I got the expected report.

You can find that installation notice here (it's on the Connectors section).

We will add a notice to the "Tools" section too.
