Installing JRE 1.4.2_04 error: Error reading setup initialization file

843804Jun 4 2004 — edited Sep 23 2005

I'm getting the following error when trying to install the Java 2 Runtime Environment.

Diaglog box containing message: Error reading setup initialization file.

I get this error on any of the installers for Java 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition 1.4.2_0x; Windows Platform; Windows Offline Installation and Windows Installation.

I do not get this error with the installer for Java 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition 1.4.2.

According to the InstallShield web site, this error is caused by an invalid setting for the MSI Engine Location property in the release. See Q105447 on the InstallShield web site Knowledge Base.
