I don't know what to do? My problem is that when I downloaded the program "Arduino" as a zip-file,and extracted the file Arduino and ran it it then gave me a pop up that said "this application was configured to use a bundled Java Runtime Enviroment, but the runtime is missing or corrupted? I am new to all this stuff so I need help please!
A bunch of people have had IDE 1.6.x problems, including IDE crashes and bizarre compile errors, when they have an old 1.5.x/1.6.x installation. Those problems seem to be caused by out-of-date executables that the new IDE saves outside the IDE installation directory. In such cases it appears that the fix is to delete or rename the old "Arduino15" directory and re-install 1.6.x.
On Mac OS X:
/Users/(username)/Library/Arduino15
On Windows:
C:\Users(username)\AppData\Roaming\Arduino15
On Linux:
/home/(username)/.arduino15 (a.k.a. ~/.arduino15)

You click the "More Info..." button to download, and then install Java.
