CONVERTED DATA BugTraq+ Release Management Values COMMIT TO FIX: tiger-rc FIXED IN: tiger-rc INTEGRATED IN: tiger-b56 tiger-rc VERIFIED IN: tiger-rc

EVALUATION This problem only appears to be happening on win98 machines during java update. The 1.5.0_01 installer must be launched by the jupdate.exe process, or it is not reproducible. If the jre1.5.0_01.exe installer is simply launched standalone, this is not reproducible. The problem seems be happening as a result of the class data sharing MSI custom action. This action launches $SYSTEMDIR/javaw.exe -Xshare:dump. Here is the order of executable processes that are being run. C:/program files/java/jre1.5.0/bin/jupcheck.exe which downloads and launches the jre installer exe file: jre-1_5_0_01-beta2-windows-i586-p-iftw.exe which launches msiexec /i http://java.sun.com/jre1.5.0_01.msi file Which launches $SYSTEMDIR/javaw.exe -Xshare:dump which is hanging on win98 platforms. Even if I open up a MSDOS box when it is already hanging and run javaw.exe -Xshare:dump separately, it will not hang. It appears only to be hanging when jupcheck.exe is a super parent exe. ###@###.### 2004-05-24 According to Fred Oliver, we do not support CDS on win9X platforms. That is likely the reason for this problem. So the fix is to only call the class data sharing custom action on when the condition VersonNT is satisfied. Also, we should change the fontchecker and CDS custom actions to Synchronous (ignore exit code). ###@###.### 2004-05-25
