There is a file SSJavaCOM.dll that must be visible to the jre you are running. I place mine in JAVA_HOME\bin, works fine.

Make sure that you are using the same version of the dll as the associated JavaCOM_API.jar.

I tried placing the .dll in the java bin folder, and that doesn't work.  you mention the JavaCOM_API.jar file.  I don't have this jar file, I only have eeapi.jar.  Where would I find this jar file?

What version of Java should I be using?

Turns out I needed a newer Java version.  Installed 1.6 and it seems to be working now.
