i downloaded the SimBrain zip file and unpacked it.i can't find any executable.the reply given in the previous topic doesn't seem to work.kindly help

It's a java desktop application, packaged as a jar file.  There is no ".exe" file.  You should be able to just double click the Simbrain.jar file, which is in the directory you unzipped.   If you do that, and nothing happens, then you probably have to install java (1.4+) on your system.  You just need the JRE (java runtime environment), which you can get here:

i have java 1.6 installed, since i am a student.does this work in vista?

1.6  and Vista should both be fine.   Did it work when you double clicked on the jar?  What happened?
