------- Additional Comments From dank@kegel.com 2006-28-07 11:21 ------- Heh. You're installing the JRE this time, not the JDK, that's why. I was installing the JDK from the URL given above, http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp The behavior is the same with either JDK 1.5 update 6 or 7. md5sums: d684c84a746da6139170437d4dc638cc jdk-1_5_0_06-windows-i586-p.exe 39be9eb7243160b72ac7a0da7ea13cf0 jdk-1_5_0_07-windows-i586-p.exe
The problem happens only if you check the "install public JRE" box in the JDK installer. And, as you reported in comment 6, sometimes the installer reports success even though you still see a cabinet err and an msi 'Execution halted' err. This behavior is unchanged with today's wine from git.
Thus the installer is probably not operating properly. I have not yet checked to see which fails it fails to install...
