classpath and missing com.zerog.lax package, part of SDK?

[Mark Ziebell]

Hi,
I am trying to run a program that uses ZeroG's InstallAnywhere. I keep getting a
"Can't launch executable (Java class com/zerog/lax/LAX could not be found)"
I have JRE1.3.0_02 installed. Looking at the Sun's page http://industry.java.sun.com/solutions/products/by_product/0,2348,all-1355-99,00.html
it seems to say that the classes for InstallAnywhere are part of the Java 2 SDK. However after looking in the lib directory at rt.jar, i18n.jar, jaws.jar none of these contain any com.zerog packages.
Would anyone know where these classes can be found and what should be in the classpath to run things from InstallAnywhere
Thanks
Mark

I'm guessing that
You have been given a <filename>.exe and some jar files, and a associated <filename>.lax file.
there should be a lax.jar in that set of jar files.
Check the <filename>.lax file to see what it sets the classpath to (it's just a normal text file containing properties for the executable).
The lax.jar file is normally supplied as part of the InstallAnywhere installation

Thanks,
The program in question was XSLEditor from IBM AlphaWorks http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/xsleditor
It only comes as one .exe file
However after reading your post I went to another machine and tried there and it installed :-(
Can't see anything greatly different about the config on this second machine. So somewhere in the .exe it must have the classes but why I conflicts with something on the original machine (and works fine on the second) is a mystery.
Cheers
