Java JDK not installed?

Hey, I am trying to run the initial_setup script but the windows says that an AVD cannot be installed and that I should install the Java JDK from the Oracle website? Should I go ahead? and download it?

You do need the JDK. Our bundle is supposed to include it, but it sounds like there might be a problem. Can you tell me if your unzipped directory has a Java folder in it, and if the jdk folder is inside there?

I'll try to fix the bundle, but in the short term, go ahead and install the JDK from Oracle's website. The latest Java 7 JDK will work for you: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html
