Hello, i don't know if is your case but in my case, with the odis 4.1.3 and 4.2.3, at first because i don't know how to install it, i installed first the last java from the java.com but after with the fails during open the program (same as yours) i realized that these programs came with the java installed, so is not necessary that you install java.
In fact i have formated the pc with w7 64 bits, install the odis 4.2.3 and i dont' install the java.
If you see inside the ODIS installation folder, you will see the java folder. i say that because one of the errors that i had with the java was that i installed the java 1.8.4 before the odis installation and is not necessary.
The proof is that when i runs odis, inside the programs options, don't remember where, i saw a option that say JAVA VERSION....... 1.8.4 u or something, that confirm what i say.

Now i run the program ok withouth having installed the java first.
But yes is necessary that the framework is updated ok.

i hope this help you and sorry for the billet
