Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

A few days ago using the JRE 1.5.0.6 of the JDK SE 1.5.0.6 distribution on Windows 2000 with the latest service packs, I successfully ran an installer jar file for a development tool using Java Web Start. Then I upgraded to JDK SE 1.5.0.8 and tried to reinstall the same jar. This time Java Web Start gave me an "Invalid Arguments Error" with the following details below. The javaws2 file mentioned below is approximately 66 Mbytes.

This is the first problem I have had with Java Web Start. I have tried falling back to JDK SE 1.5.0.6 but now I get the same error there as well when installing this particular jar file. Other web apps that I run (which have javaws2 files up to 45Mbytes) run okay.

Can someone tell me how to get around this error?

Thanks,

Will Warren
