Description mslama 2004-11-12 13:16:52 UTC 
Currently JRE installer installed by JDK installer
on Windows is placed to folder which contains
build number in its name. It is necessary to
customize jdkbundle installer automaticaly when
new JDK installer build becomes available. For
example folder has name:
$COMMON_FILES\Java\Update\Base
Images\jdk1.5.0.b64\patch-jdk1.5.0.b64\jre.msi for
JDK 1.5.0 FCS.

We now move to JDK 1.5.0_01 latest build is b06
now but it is possible it is not last build. New
build is loaded automaticaly and without
automatization we would need to update installer
code every time new JDK installer is available.
Comment 1 mslama 2004-11-16 11:13:36 UTC 
Fixed in main trunk. Installer tries to locate jre.msi at runtime so
location of jre.msi is not hardcoded. It also means that there are 2
tasks now: 1.JDK installation. 2.JRE installation. It applies only to
Windows.

Note: It is not fixed in release40 branch so if there will be new
build of JDK 1.5.0_01 installer it is necessary to update jdkbundle
installer for NB 4.0.
