JDK 1.4 beta 2 problems

Question

When I try to install the JDK 1.4 beta2, I get the following error in a dialogue box titled, 'Can't run 16-bit Windows program':
"Cannof find file C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\pft1F79~tmp\disk1\SETUP.EXE (or one of its components). Check to ensure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available."
I am running Windows 2000 SP2 on a PIII-450 with 256MB of RAM and 2GB of free drive space. Does anyone know why I'm getting this error?

Answer 1

The problem here is that Sun is distributing a 32-bit only
program with a 16-bit installation software. They use
Installshield for the installation. They forgot to check
off 32-bit runtime when packaging the installation software.
For whatever reason, the 16-bit subsystem in Windows is
disabled and the 16-bit installation software can't run.

Also, go to Installshield's website and look at
knowledgebase article Q101254 and Q103299 for more
