EVALUATION Ok, I think I know the problem now. In 5.0u3, they moved directories around to different locations in the demo tree of the jdk image. So the old base image gets extracted and creates the files in the old location, but the installer does not know about these old files anymore. It only knows about the new location. So it doesn't remove them. I think we might be able to do something with the generation of the RemoveFile table in the install build. We can make sure we have a removefile table for the regular and patch trees, and do a unique command on both, so we know we get the complete list. I'll look into it. ###@###.### 2005-03-31 18:02:25 GMT
