Java error Message when importing xml to FrameMaker 8

I have reconstructed a workstation, and am attempting to flow an xml file into a FrameMaker 8 template. When I attempt to do this I get the following error message:

Failed reading value of registry key

Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\Current Version

Error: could not find java.dll

Error: Could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment

The xml file is being imported by selecting it through a menu choice added internally through the Main Menu bar.

Java 6 Update 3 is the version being used.

I can successfully flow this file through my computer.

Any ideas what might be causing the error message and how it can be fixed?

blgeorge,

As far as I know FrameMaker itself relies nowhere on Java.

So my guess is you have some plug-in installed or some script programming active that does something which requires Java.

Yes. I believe that there is an internal plug-in installed / script programming active that does something which requires Java.

You could look up the definition of the Structured Application which is used for those XML files to check if a "structure client" is defined.

But it has nothing to do with FrameMaker as shipped by Adobe.
