Java EE 6 installer hangs on Vista 64

[Franz Amador]

I'm trying to install Java EE 6 on a 64-bit Vista system, though I'm running a 32-bit JDK (build 1.6.0_18-b07). I'm using the standard installer (java_ee_sdk-6-windows.exe). Every time I run it, it shows the "Java EE 6 SDK Initializing..." splash, then it starts to open another window whose title is "Java EE 6 SDK", and then it hangs. The new window never fully paints. Reinstalling the JDK didn't help. My JAVA_HOME is set correctly (C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_18). Any help much appreciated.

Problem solved. I needed to update my graphics driver.

I posted a JIRA issue (http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-7964), and that's what they suggested.
