Hi Paige,
>It shows the splash screen of "Fiji" and then...nothing happens.
There were a few hours yesterday where fresh Fiji downloads were broken due
to a bug in the ImageJ updater[1] - resulting in an incomplete
installation. The symptom you encountered sounds like the same problem,
although we thought only new installations would be affected.
Since your Fiji won't launch, the first thing I would try is simply
downloading a new copy[2] - as we did fix the downloads (I just tested on
Windows to confirm that the latest download is, indeed, complete).
>my latest Java version is version 6, Update 17.
Unless you used the "All platforms (no JRE)" download link, your Fiji
download includes a bundled Java known to be compatible (version 6 update
24). But if a fresh download doesn't work for you, using Java 7 or 8 would
likely be the next thing to try[3].
I'm deeply sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for the kind words, and
letting us know when you ran into problems.
Best,
