JDK-4953793 - J2SDK 1.4.2_01, 1.4.2_02 fail to install (JVM currently running) on W2000 SP4
Description

Name: js151677			Date: 09/20/2004


FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.2_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_05-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_05-b04, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
MS Windows 2003 Server

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
During the install of the SDK changed the directory to something other than C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05 the install always gave an error that the install could not complete because a Java VM was running.

J2sdk1.4.2_04 works installing to a different directory.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
During the install wizard run set the directory to D:\JAVA.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
JAVA should install in the alternate directory just like in J2sdk1.4.2_04.
ACTUAL -
JAVA SDK only installs to the default directory of C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

Comments
EVALUATION Which alternative directory is chosen for installation? Is this directory locked by some other process? For instance, is the pwd of a terminal in this target directory. I think this is a duplicate of 4953793, which is fixed in 1.5.0. ###@###.### 2004-09-20
