JDK-4103432 - (process) "Exec"ed processes hang on NT when reading the standard input
Description
When doing the SWAT installation testing on win98se, I got the pop-up window showing the following statement:

"Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package.  A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

After I click "OK" button.  The install Wizard is "finished".  I tested the installed JDK by checking "java -version" "java -server -Xcomp -version" , etc.  All display b41.  Both SwingSet2 and Java2D demos were running properly.

Verify with win2000 pro, no such issue during the installation process.

Attached is the snapshot of the pop-up install error window in win98se.

EVALUATION Is this reproducible? Please provide the following log files: $TEMP/java_install.log $WINSYSDIR/jupdate*log ###@###.### 2004-03-04 ====================== Bill, It's reproducible if you remove the JRE in win98se and skill the reboot. Attached are 2 files you requested. ###@###.### 2004-03-10 We need the java_install.log file, not the java_install_reg.log file. What is this win98_install.sxd file? Can you install vnc on this machine so I can check it out? ###@###.### 2004-03-19 I can reproduce this on my win98 machine now. It seems that the fontchecker CustomAction is hanging on win98 systems, causing files to remain locked up after the installation. Assigning to Phil.Race, the owner of the Fontchecker program for further investigation. After installation, running the Fontchecker command with java.exe will actually pop up a MSDOS box and hang. ###@###.### 2004-03-23 ==================================== It looks like win98 behaves differently in the following respect: When a parent and execed child communicate via a pipe, if the parent exits when the child is reading, on 98 the read hangs (blocks forever) whereas on 2K & XP the read returns. So the child is not exiting. The fix should make the code more robust on all the OS versions. ###@###.### 2004-03-26 ============================= The different behaviour of windows 98 is bug 4103432. ###@###.### 2004-03-29 ============================
