First of, we really need to know what error you are seeing.  Right
click on the command prompt, then click edit, and mark.  Highlight the
text and hit enter to copy and then paste it into the reply.  So, do
you mean the errors are from the Java runtime itself (or lack thereof)
or Osmosis runs with errors thrown out?  If the former, which is what
I get from your email, the current working directory is important,
just like *nix environments.  If it is not in your path (variable), it
does not know where to guess about a possible location for java.exe,
javaw.exe, what have you (the Java runtime executable). You need to
add the path variable to the runtime's path or specify the full path,
something like (I am guessing here) C:\Program
Files\Sun\Java\<version>\java.exe.  Now that it is Oracle, I am not
sure if Sun has been replaced with Oracle.  Anyway, let us know.
