difficulty installing Sun's JWSDP

I've been trying to install the JWSD in order to go thru the web services tutorial and I get the following:

1st it has on the command screen,

verifying java 1.4.x by sun
searching for java 1.5.x by sun
verifying java 1.5.x by sun

everything seems to go ok and then I get the message:

The following containers will be installed but not integrated into the web container: JSTL

I then get the following message:

c:\sun\jwsdp-1.6\registry\bin\install.properties exists on the system and it has been modified since installation. Do you want to remove this file?

(I've replied both no and yes)

The Result?

"An error occured and product installation failed. Look at the log file c:\Sun\jwsdp-1.6\log.txt for details.

The log has a lot of messages so I've edited out the stuff that appears to repeat. One other person on the Sun BB for webservices reported that they have the same problem and then asked if anyone else has succesfully tested JWSDP with Java 1.5

At any rate the log looks like this...

................which continues

This doesn't really answer your question, but it may be easier to install Tomcat, if you don't have it already, and then get Axis (which come swith a web app that'S ready for use by Tomcat). That may be an easier start than JWSDP.
