ArchiOffice/EngineerOffice users need Java for the proper functioning of the document management and data sync features. You should be using the most current version of Java available at any given time.
Next, follow these steps to fix your Java installation:
Java Installation and Setup:
PC:
1. Completely uninstall all the versions of Java on your computer. Under Control Panel > Programs & Features, after the list populates, select each Java version and uninstall it.
2. Remove any leftover files and folders after uninstalling Java (PC only).
- Under C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86), you may find a folder called “Java”.
- Under C:\Users\[User Profile Directory]\AppData\LocalLow, you may find a folder called “Sun”.
These folders need to be deleted entirely.
3. Download and reinstall Java. Java installers can be found here: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
Always select the 32-bit installer, regardless of your system configuration.

Ensure that Java is updated to the most current version available.
