Hi,
I'm having a problem installing SDK 1.5 on Win98. I get a message saying there is not enough space on the drive.
Is there a way to tell the install process to use another drive for a work area? I have 5G on my E: drive.
How can I tell the install process to use that for a work area during the install? I am going to install to the E: drive where there is plenty of room.
I have two bootable Win98 OS systems on my computer. I use the smaller one for
testing. It has 70M free space. I want to install the new
java on that system to test it before installing it on my "production" system. The reason I do this is that in the past I blindly installed a new version of the SDK and had it wipe out various settings without telling me what it had done. It took me several days to a week to find what had been changed and to restore it.
Before moving to 1.5 I would like to test it in parallel with my current version 1.4.2.
Specific problems with the install:
Install REPLACEs the registry entry for jarfile. I have several commands that are available via the right-click context menu for jar files.
Install has replaced the java.exe file in the C:\Windows folder. I want to keep more than one version of the JRE around with different names.
Install has replaced the java plugin entries in the registry and in the Netscape plugin folder.
Thanks,
Norm
