Sneak preview sp11 java edition install hangs

Question

I posted this in the NetWeaver forum originally but now realize this might be a more appropriate forum.
I am trying to install the sneak preview sp11 java edition to a brand new box. The installation hangs on the "Load Java Database Content" step. The last thing in the jload.log is:
08.11.05 00:24 com.sap.inst.jload.Jload dbImport
INFO: table J2EE_CONFIGENTRY created
It's been running for 24 hours now and has not moved off that step. The java.exe process is using 50% cpu so it apparently thinks it's doing something. I've seen the posts regarding errors with the install and the Timezone change fix, but I'm already in a timezone that has DST.
Any ideas?

I had the same problem. I tried reinstalling a couple of times, but the same thing happened - the installation was just hanging and using 100% cpu time.
As the installation had not been tested with JDK 5.0 I had installed the newest version of 1.4.2, namely 1.4.2_10.
Then, just for kicks, I uninstalled 1.4.2_10 and installed 1.4.2_08 - 40 minutes later I got the "Successful install" screen.
I hope this helps.
ps: it should be noted that I installed on a freshly installed Windows XP (and later on a freshly installed Windows 2003 Server - also without problems) with German regional settings, just to make sure - I have later reverted the regional settings to my locale.
