It seems like the interface for the 421 is perhaps newer than what's described in the Installing section of the Minimserver website. I'm not sure what the QPKG Center is. I have an App Center where I can manually install. Is that the same thing.

Yes, it's the same thing.

I think you probably don't have Java 7 installed. The JRE_7 QPKG doesn't contain Java 7. It's just an installer that looks for a Java 7 archive in a specific location on the NAS and unpacks that archive. Which browser did you use to download the Java 7 archive from Oracle? What is the exact name and file extension of the Java 7 archive that has been copied to the Public share of your NAS? Please check the contents of the Public share of your NAS and copy and paste the exact filename that you see there.

I haven't seen this message and I don't know what would cause it. Where exactly did you see this message?

To get MinimServer installed and running, you will need to do the following:

1) Uninstall the MinimServer package and the JRE installer package
2) Make sure you have copied the correct Java 7 archive file to the correct location on the NAS
3) Install the JRE installer package
4) Enable the JRE installer package
5) Install the MinimServer package
