"ant install" command problem-JWSDP EA2

Question

Hello. I get an error message like the following:
"Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL ..." when I invoked the "ant install" command. According to the tutorial, it says I need create a "build.properties" file in my home directory. It said for Windows 2000 it is c:\Documents. But I have W98SE and by default I do not have a Documents directory. So I created the Documents folder under the root directory of my local c: drive (c:\Documents). I then created a build.properties file that has the username and password as determined in the tomcat-users.xml file. Then I saved the file in c:\Documents folder. I executed the "ant install" command and I still get the error message. Then I was thinking that perhaps for W98SE, my home directory is c:\My Documents since that is my default directory when I'm saving files in Office applications. So I repeated the above, but saved the build.properties in c:\My Documents instead. But I still get the error message. I even enclosed my username and password in double-quotes and without double-quotes, but again I still get the error message. Please help. Thanks.

I found out that my "home" directory is c:\windows based on this:
System.out.println(System.getProperty("user.home"));
But, I still get that "...Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: http://localhost:8080/manger/install..." after I saved my build.properties file in the c:\windows folder. This is getting frustrating. arrrrrgh!!!! If I don't get any help, I guess I'm just going to install just the standalone Tomcat installation instead of the installation that came with JWSDP EA2. This ANT thing is getting on my nerve. :) It seems I could just use DOS batch files, which would similarily accomplish what the ANT tool is doing.
