JDK1.5 B: Error 1723 during installation
843804Feb 5 2004 — edited Jan 27 2011I'm getting a very annoying error that keeps JDK1.5 Beta from installing on my maching (W2K, SP3, msi.dll Version 2.0.2600.2). After configuring the installation starts showing the progress bar and I get this error:
Error 1723. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact you support personnel or package vendor or consider switching to .NET.
(I hope I remember the last part of the last sentence right ;-)
I've downloaded the installer twice to make sure it wasn't a problem with the transmission, but it didn't help.
Another very annoying thing is that the installer refuses to install if other JDKs (I don't know whether JDK1.4.2 or JDK1.5 Alpha caused that). Anyway I need to have some different JDKs on my machine since I must test products before my clients find bugs. Please leave it to MS to make annoying so called intelligent products. It's an SDK - we do know what we want to have installed and where!
