Java Console won't Start

I had an issue after installing the Java Console for 7.7.1 on my windows 7 desktop. I would double click the icon a dos window would show up and then close almost immediately.  I searched around and didn't see anything that had the solution so I kept poking around. What I found was this; in the setconf.bat. The file had a couple of lines with two back-slashes in the path.  i.e. ( \\ )   This was causing nbjava.bat not to be able to find javaw.exe in the path.  I replaced the double backslashes with single backslashes, and tada it started working. I am not sure if this is an issue with every iteration of the java console or just my dumb luck.  I hope this will help someone else with the same issue.

Curious, what was the install path?  Did you choose typical installation path?
