JBI Installation Error on Windows

Question

The problem:
JBI default install fails on windows. We have solved the problem with a workaround, listed below.
Our configuration is:
* JBI 1.0
* Application server Q2
* Windows 2000
We get the following symptoms:
* After JBI is installed, the application server admin web page fails to load.
* server.log reports "NoClassDefFoundError: javax/jbi/JBIException"
* jbi install log reports "The input line is too long."
Our solution:
1) Replace C:\Sun\AppServer\bin\asant.bat with the file listed below. We have moved setting the class path from the command line to an environment variable.
2) Re-run the installation scripts:
C:\Sun\jbi\install>C:\Sun\Appserver\bin\asant.bat -DAS_INSTALL=C:\Sun\Appserver -DJBI_HOME=C:\Sun\jbi -DJBI_DOMAIN_ROOT=C:\Sun\Appserver\domains\domain1 -f install_jbi_domain.ant
C:\Sun\jbi\install>C:\Sun\Appserver\bin\asant.bat -DJBI_HOME=C:\Sun\jbi -DJBI_DOMAIN_ROOT=C:\Sun\Appserver\domains\domain1 -f C:\Sun\jbi\install\install_sample_components.xml
C:\Sun\AppServer\bin\asant.bat
