Description mcmics 2007-05-14 18:08:09 UTC
If I want to install the latest Milestone in Vista I get an NullPointer
Exception.  It occurs while looking for installed Java Runtime.

I've attached the log.

Can you please try running the installer via right-click -> Run as
administrator.. and see whether the issue is reproducible?
Comment 3 mcmics 2007-05-14 18:27:47 UTC
I tried it with "Run as Administrator" but it still the Exception.
Comment 4 Kirill Sorokin 2007-05-14 18:49:42 UTC
Thanks a lot for trying. You're running a German Vista, right? We'll fix this
for the next milestone. And thanks for reporting.

I see one more issue in the log file. It seems that smth wrong happened during 
running (writing to the disk?) the cleaner.
Possibly it`s the Vista`s virtualization effect... 
Comment 6 mcmics 2007-05-15 12:12:53 UTC
And how can I fix it or have I wait for the next milestone??
Comment 7 dlipin 2007-06-14 09:35:01 UTC
mcmics,

I am not sure but most probably the issue is fixed now.
Please verify the latest nightly build (>=200706150000).

If the issue is still reproducible or any other errors occur please attach new installation log.
Comment 8 mcmics 2007-06-14 17:19:22 UTC
Where can I find the daily build for the Milestone if it exists?
The problem is only in the milestone Installer and not in daily build.

I think "200706150000" means June the 15 and this tommorrow.
Comment 9 dlipin 2007-06-15 06:23:20 UTC
mcmics,

The daily builds are located at
http://bits.nbextras.org/download/6.0/nightly/

You can try the following build for testing (that fix is already there)
http://bits.nbextras.org/download/6.0/nightly/200706141200


There is no such term of "daily for Milestone" build with the exception when there are several milestone candidate 
builds.
