I've installed it on Windows NT, 95 and Solaris and haven't had this kind of failure, but this kind of problem is common with Windows. You probably need to re-install Windows (I'm not kidding either).

I do have a bunch of problems with the email client and proxy server support, and nobody is responding on the newsgroups as you found. Hopefully this will improve, otherwise Sun is going to be sorrryyy.

Actually, this kind of installation nightmare is exactly why StarPortal will be better: there simply is no installation. Just point your browser at starportal.sun.whatever and voila, you're running.

That's assuming your browser supports the latest version of Java, and that it doesn't crash Windows itself.

Ahh well. Progress is a wonderful thing, especially when its forwards.
