NitroXInstaller (2.1) can not find JDK or JRE 1.4

Question

Hi,
I have been trying to install NitroX JSP Editor (NitroXInstaller.exe), downloaded today, and keep getting an error saying it can not find a JRE or JDK 1.4 or later.
I have modified my PATH and tested a few permutations to no avail. I only have 1.4 installed on my machine. The path is correct:
E:\tmp\ExpressNitroXFreeInstall-411>java -version
java version "1.4.2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-b28)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-b28, mixed mode)
I saw in an other post that if I press <cntr> while running the install, I can get the installer to create a log file. I tried that but the functionaility did not come up...
Any ideas?
Patrick

From what I see in the log, it does find the correct JVM but has a problem starting up:
versionInfo: major: 2 minor: 1 micro: 0 buildNumber: 411 release name: M1
