Description therealevilted 2005-11-18 19:48:47 UTC 
The latest beta 2 of the IDE fails to install on Windows XP.
Repeated clean install several times but it gets to a screen in the wizard
containing nulls and cannot finish the installation.


JDK 1.5.05
Windows XP Professional, fully patched.

Use command line option -is:extract. It will extract setup.jar. Then run "java
-Dis.debug=1 -jar setup.jar" from console. Please attach output here.

Cannot reproduce. Please reopen when you add more info. Thanks. Closing as
WORKSFORME.
Comment 3 mslama 2005-11-29 08:33:06 UTC 
Please try to delete directory "C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield". It
could be the same problem as in issue #67530.

I just found provided output is from running setup.jar. Anyway it is not clear
why reported problem happens. Please try to clean directory "C:\Program
Files\Common Files\InstallShield" if it helps or not. I will report this problem
to InstallShield.

Comment 8 mslama 2005-11-29 12:09:56 UTC 
Correction: Try to clean directory "C:\Program
Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Universal". Directory "C:\Program
Files\Common Files\InstallShield" could contain also other things besides
installer cache stored in Universal dir.
