I have tried to run the Standalone and Asbundle package like you described. I ran the winxp as some user without admin privilegies. Then i ran the standalone and then asbundle installation via Run As way. Everything have been installed correctly and due to it i am not able to reproduce it. Are you able to provide me more informations about your system environment ? Brand new Windows XP Professional installation on an Alienware laptop. SP2 loaded, nothing else added up front. Single user created with Administrator priviledges. Signed in as that user, running the downloaded installations from C:\Downloads, installing to the defaults. I did notice that the radio buttons for the "Accept Licence" did not appear when the installation went on to fail. I'm puzzled as well - I have a (much dirtier) system, also running XP Pro that it installed on correctly (the files are identical). Hardware environment: Pentium 4 3.6Ghz CPU with HT, Display is NVidia GEForce GO 6800, 100GB ATA hard drive. Could just be a wierdness - probably worth documenting the workaround, though. I just investigated similar problem. See issue #64380. To check if it is the same problem you can run unzip on installer exe (it is archive with exe stub it can be unzipped using command line utility - ignore waring - it will skip exe code in archive - or copy it to zip file and then you can unzip it using some commander on Windows). Then run 'java run' (as there should be run.class which is installer startup class.) By this way you should get more detail output on console - probably some exceptions. Please copy it to file and attach it here. If it is problem with Windows desktop theme as in issue #64380 workaround should be to use default desktop theme. Please run with command line option -is:log <log file> eg. -is:log a.log from console. (Run cmd.) And attach resulting logfile here (use Create a new attachment). Hopefully then I can confirm it is the same problem as in issue #64380. If yes I would appreciate if you could send me your desktop theme. Is your desktop theme anyhow modified? So far I was not able to reproduce it here to create some simple test. It seems it is some Swing problem (at least it seems so for problem reported in issue #64380). Without additional info I cannot do anything. Thanks. Closing as duplicate of #64380. For this I already filed issue against Swing http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6337517. Workaround is to switch to default desktop theme. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 64380 *** |
