It says that you do not have Java installed. You have to install the 32 bit version and use it.
[:D] thank you for the painfully obvious advice because:
I tried following the websites advice of not formally installing Java (yes 32 bit), and that didn't work so I did do the formal install and it still didn't work.
The silly thing I did was copying the Java setup exe file into the tracker folder, not the Java app itself.
I just needed that little nudge! [8D]
It works now!
In the folder, where you have installed Tracker, should be a File called "WitPTracker.bat". Execute this and Tracker should start.
Be aware that you need Java 32-bit to be able to launch the Tracker.
edit:
In Regards to what it does, it tracks basically everything that is going on in your game.
The Tracker is especially useful for Japanese Industry, as you get your totals in one screen, without the need to get the numbers out of the game and add them up yourself.
For Example: You want to lookup how many engines of a specific types are currently produced or stocked and how many you are using for the production of Aircraft.
In the game without Tracker, you would need to go into the industry menu, add all Factories together that produce the engine, lookup which of your Aircraft are using this engine and when calculate the totals yourself.
With Tracker you get a Table for all available Engines and see in one screen how much you produce and how many of them are used during Aircraft Production and also by which Aircraft respectively.
And it also keeps track of this Information on a turn-by-turn basis, so you always have the most recent data.
This is just one Case where Tracker can be useful, it has also a lot of different information, so I would encourage you to explore a bit.
You are right, I am a blockhead. I had the file in the wrong folder. I fixed it and now I am getting the following error:

For whatever reason it seems that Windows gets its memory allocation screwed up. Try closing everything and restarting your computer.
If that doesn't fix it, then try shutting down your computer completely, pulling the power cable and pressing the start button for about 10 seconds.
Restart and try again. Like I said, I don't know what happens but these have always fixed the problem for me. I have something like 450 turns loaded.
As a last resort, try and find what is running in the background that might be a problem. At least one person found dropbox was running in the background
and messing up the memory manager.
Also I have found the following memory settings work the best: ( do not copy and paste )
"c:\32 bit java\installation\bin\java.exe" -Xms768m -Xmx768m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"
pause
For those who want to know why:
1. The -Xms768m sets the initial memory allocation to 768MB
2. The -Xmx768m set the maximum memory allocation to 768MB
I think that by setting them both to 768MB that Java allocates enough memory for the entire operation at the start and there should be less memory manager allocation problems.
Hi all, does anybody has a working link for a working Java version for the tracker ? [&o]
On oracle everything seems hidden, or forbidden, or you have to have a professional account ? [&:]
I'm trying to setup and use tracker for the first time and I am having some problems.
I configured tracker to use the correct save file and game setup.
I downloaded java 6 and put it into a separate file and then pointed tracker to its location. when I run tracker from the batch file I get the following
