Description

Name: tn108358			Date: 07/24/2001


java version "1.3.0_02"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0_02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0_02, mixed mode)

Executing the (Nullsoft) installer for web start (since 1.0.1): The installation fails if the current user has no write access either to the system's temp dir or to the standard destination dir(s) (if left unchanged).
The installation of the JRE included in the setup fails, and web start is unusable.

WORK AROUND Name: tn108358 Date: 07/24/2001 The installer should check both the temp dir and the entered destination dir(s) for write access before starting to copy and expand files. ======================================================================
