Classic HSpot will no longer install on recent OS/Platform combinations (for Windows, later than Windows 7; for Mac, only on platforms previous to Mountain Lion; etc.) Technically, the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) fails to install correctly. To allow HSpot to work on different current and future OS/Platform combinations, a virtualised version of HSpot has been prepared, running a Debian Linux version of HSpot on VirtualBox. Full instructions for installation of Virtual HSpot, the HSpot 8.0 release,  can be found here:

You can find a Herschel Science Centre short videotutorial explaining how to install and run Virtual HSpot, here:

Herschel Science Centre has released also a useful short videotutorial explaining the uses and limitations of HSpot after post-Operations have finished. You can find the videotutorial here:
