JRE 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 install failure on w2k
843804Apr 9 2002 — edited Jul 18 2002Struggling to get a healthy JRE install on my W2K (SP2) box. Have tried downloading and installing "locally" with both j2re1_3_0-win.exe and j2re1_3_1_02-win.exe. Both install processes complains about uninstall that fails to start, and then ends with an exception leaving a crippled install that refuses to uninstall.
The exact errors received are,
1. unInstaller failed to initialize. You may not be able to uninstall this product.
2. INS5176.MP.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created.
And of course the inevitable OK button to accept that things went wrong .....
Help pls !
