I have windows vista 64bit... I had Java installed already (JRE but not JDK) so I first downloaded JDK 64 bit and couldnt install MDS... I couldnt figure out why so I installed  and uninstalled JRE and JKD multiple times....Later I found I needed JDK but x86 version, so i did.... I was able to install MDS but when I tried to run it the screen would open and close immediately.... I then changed some path in the evnironment variables (following some forum poster's advice) and still nothing......please  help me get the environment variable back to what it should be (I remember it was pointing to a .zip file...regardless of what I change it to, though, every java app,like frostwire, seems to work so Im not sure what difference does it make) and get MDS working .... thanks in advance

MDS is defining a real world problem, suggesting practical solutions and recommending long-run strategies to avoid the reoccurrence of the problem. Finally, MDS will show you your potential return on investment realized based on the cost of addressing the problem-solution. The objective and expected outcome is to convert mountains of data into practical and usable strategic information in a simple, time-efficient problem-solution format.

I had a similar problem on Vista. Here is what I did to solve it.

First  - you have to click on the root folder containing your eclipse and MDS stuff and give it as much permissions as possible.

Second - Check the status of your firewalls

Finally - This is the most important step. You have to create (File > new > other > MDS....) an MDS project and run the project. Create any MDS project in a new workspace this is just to get the server started. You can now close that workspace and go to your original workspace where your application is at and launch the simulator. MDS should now work.

Any problems let me know...
