Java EE SDK Installation problems...

I have been having a great deal of difficulty installing the

Java EE SDK application from this downloaded file

java_ee_sdk-5_02-windows.exe

The installation appears to proceed normally for a while then aborts with a dialog that references the installation log.

I have tried installing this a couple of times and every time it fails, I have deleted the C:\SUN\... folder and the installation script tells me that the folder is still present and requires a new folder for installation.

I assume that there is some leftover junk in the registry that is upsetting things, but this still doesn't explain why the installation log is complaining that it can't find some path somewhere...

Can someone point me in the right direction? See the log file contents below:

For anyone else who might have a similar problem, I finally found out what was wrong...

Somehow there was an entry in my User Path variable that looked like:

C:\Sun|SDK

When I saw this, I realized that the '|' character should be a '\' character and once I fixed it, the installation ran correctly. How this got into my path statement I haven't a clue. I had not manually touched the environment variables myself.

Hi,

Which OS are you using ? I tried installing Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 9.0 Update 1 Patch 1 on Windows Vista Home premium.Installtion was successfully completed eventhough it showed that OS was not supported. I tried starting the server, it was not giving any error on the console, but the admin appln nor the default appln were gtting started(it was not opening in browser).I tried pluggin this app server to netbeans ide 5.5 and tried starting it in ide, there it was showing communication exception.Could this be a problem with port being blocked?How do i check whther the ports are open in windows ? or is this some compatibility issues ? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

First of all, you should take a look at the server log under <installdir>/domains/domain1/logs/server.log

Do you see any errors there? If so, copy and paste the content to this thread.

If server startup did not complain, it is unlikely that ports are blocked. Did you check which ports have been used for installation? If default ones are in use at the time of installation, alternatives will be assigned, so it is possible you are accessing wrong ports. Check <installdir>/domains/domain1/config/domain.xml file for port values which are actually used.

There is one correction to the statement i made before ..server is not starting ..for some time it hangs and throws a socket time out exception...
