Description chriscush 2006-12-05 16:06:22 UTC

Have Java 1.5.0.10 installed.

Get error message:
The installer is unable to run in graphical mode. Try running the installer 
with the -console or -silent flag.

Can run the install with the -silent flag and no errors occur until trying to 
launch the IDE. The IDE complains about not being able to find java.exe at 
this point.

JDK 6.0 must be used to run installer on Vista. Use -is:javahome <Path to JDK>
to set JDK for running installer. See my comment from Wed Oct 4 14:50:57 +0000
2006 in issue #85361.
