Hi Richard,
You will probably get more info at:

While I have installed it on WS2003, we did have an issue with Java (not
mentioned in any documentation as even being required). For some
reason, BPS installed Java 5.11. I updated to 6.11 and removed 5.11 and
BPS stopped working. It had to be installed again. Stupid to code for
an older version.
