JWSDP 1.1 fails to install on Linux/JDK 1.4.1_01

Question

I just tried to install JWSDP 1.1 on Linux with a JDK 1.4.1_01 and failed miserably. That happened both when doing the install as root or as normal user. The installer displays an error page without any error message. The log.txt contains the following exception:
(Feb 28, 2003 2:43:08 PM), Setup.product.install, com.installshield.product.service.product.PureJavaProductServiceImpl$Installer, err, ServiceException: (error code = 315; message = ""; severity = 0)
STACK_TRACE: 22
ServiceException: (error code = 315; message = ""; severity = 0)

Has anyone had similar problems?
A few general remarks for Sun:
I only needed JAXB 1.0, why do I have to get the whole JWSDP? Why do I have to deal with this @$#! installer?

Answer 1

I did,
installation with 1.4.0_03 and running under 1.4.1_02.
It does work so far.
I would like to know what this is all about - but I don't
want to invest my time in something stupid like that.
Makes you wonder how Sun tests their own software before
they release it.
Cheers,
Torsten
