Anybody had a problem installing Java 8 on WinXP?  I tried today to 
install and got a message about a missing entry point and Windows DLL.

7 installs fine but I was hoping to get everybody up to 8.  The code 
doesn't use any features of 8 so I just compiled with 8 and used target 
and source 7.  That should work shouldn't it?

Thanks,
