Description cpjobling 2006-09-01 16:18:40 UTC
Installation on Windows 2000. When installing on this system, installer failed
to find a suitable default installation location (I have a dual boot set up with
windows 95 on Drive C and Windows NT on drive d:. Normal installation would be
to d:\Program Files and my user profile is in d:\Documents and Settings). 

When install wizard starts up it shows "Welcome to the Install Wizard for Error:
Null. The wizard will install ERROR: null on your computer." 

There is no default install location on next page, although I can browse to my
preferred install directory (in my case e:/java/applications/netbeans-bluej-5.0)

Next takes you to the Lisense, which I accepted.

Next page says "Click Next to install ERROR: null to this directory" (field is
blank but should be d:\Program Files\... on my system I expect)

I selected an alternative installation location using the browse button but
after choosing Java JDK (1.5.0_06 in my case) installer fails with message:

Errors occured during the installation

+ null
+ null
+ null

The following warnings were generated

+ null

marek, please evaluate. This is installer related.
Comment 2 mslama 2006-09-04 16:34:49 UTC
It seems it is InstallShield problem. Please try to clean folder C:\Program
Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Universal (or D: or whatever is your system disk).

There is no feedback from reporter. I think problem is not caused by different
system disk (D: instead of C:) but problem with InstallShield VPD. This problem
was reported before already. We have no fix for this. Only known workaround is
to delete content of <System disk>\Program Files\Common
Files\InstallShield\Universal eg. C:\Program Files\Common
Files\InstallShield\Universal or D:\Program Files\Common
Files\InstallShield\Universal

As there is no confirmation I assume it is duplicate of issue #67530.
