Hi Markus,



does `org-ditaa-jar-path' have the correct value?
You can find out this way:

    M-: org-ditaa-jar-path RET

Can you execute 

   java -jar c:\path\to\ditaa.jar --help

on the command line using the value of that variable? 



If not, I suspect you use an outdated version of Org mode and need to
set `org-ditaa-jar-path' to the correct value yourself.  Nowadays this
variable is set to the correct value automatically and ditaa.jar comes
with the development version of Org mode.
