The FVU file (File Validation Utility), em-Signer Utility or the PDF converter utilities are basically Java-based utilities provided by the Traces (TDS) department. The utility of the department would respond only if there is required JAVA installed on the system.

Quote
The minimum required version of JAVA should be JAVA 8 or above (32-Bit Only).
(Check the version from Control Panel → Program and Feature → to get help in knowing the installed JAVA on the system)

            


If there are multiple JAVA's installed on the system, then the command line "Java -Version" will help to know the java running on the system.
