Got a small problem here that's preventing me from installing and using two of my favorite programs. It seems that ZeroG's InstallAnywhere software no longer wants to launch on my system. I know this is a Java-based installer, and I want to say that something with Java is screwed up on my system.
I have tried installing both OpenOffice 1.0.3 and JBuilder X Foundation on my system, both which use the InstallAnywhere application to install the required files. Both installers crash about 3/4 of the way through the launch process -- the installer splash screen appears, the respective progress bars progress up to a certain point, then both fail consistently with the progresss bars close to completion.
I have created a new user and tried installing that way, which works -- but then the applications fail to launch under my normal account and the newly created account.
I've opened up the installer packages and looked inside -- and it seems that the installers are trying to use Java 1.3.1 (I've been on Java 1.4.2 since it came out).
In my System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.Framework/Versions, I have seemingly four installs of Java - 1.2, 1.3, 1.3.1 and 1.4.2. I'm pretty sure all these folders/installs should be there.
At any rate, I'm just kind of baffled as to why these Java-based installers fail. I do use NetBeans 3.5.1 for Java development work, and it installs and runs just fine. No errors when I try to compile or anything.
Any clues?
