  3. Start Arlequin by double-clicking on the arlequin.exe program, or on an alias you have created. You can also run the arlequin.bat batch file to start Arlequin. Note that the Java runtime environment has to be installed before you can run Arlequin. If it does not work, try to execute the batch file run_jre.bat in a DOS shell to see if something is wrong with the Java runtime environment.
