As an experiment I downloaded and installed the same version into C:\Tools\ePubCheck.

Executing it as
Quote:
D:\Downloads>java -jar c:\tools\epubcheck\epubcheck-1.2.jar "d:\Downloads\The_Land_sample.epub"
Epubcheck Version 1.2

ERROR: d:\Downloads\The_Land_sample.epub/OPS/content.opf(12): date value '2011/05/01' is not valid. The date must be in the form YYYY, YYYY-MM or YYYY-MM-DD 21 (e.g., "1993", "1993-05", or "1993-05-01"). See http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime.

Check finished with warnings or errors!
However.... you do know that there was also a lib directory present that contains some additional classes. When I renamed that directory I got the exact same error as you did.

Double check that you have the jar file on your desktop AND a lib folder present there as well that should contain jing.jar and saxon.jar.
