Installation error in JDK 1.4.2_14 on windows XP SP2
Hi There,
I just downloaded the JDK and tried installing it from the command prompt.
The 1st time I tried it, it bombed with the messagebox "Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid"after a few seconds, even before any user input.
The second time, it gave the same message BUT after I had OKed the destination directory, browser plug-in info, etc. After dismissing the messageBox, it showed the dialog which asked to REBOOT the system and I chose NO.
I have over 100 GB free. 2 GB Ram system running on a HP
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ 2 GHz.
BTW, this was the 1st time Java install has bombed in 10 years.
I'll be glad to provide more inputs.
Thank you,
BR,
~A

Try msi install option. Instructions can be found at:
http://java.com/en/download/help/msi_install.xml
or
Search for .msi for JDK in the possible location (read below), and reinstall from there:
Possible path:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Sun\Java\jdk1.6.0_1
Note: Username should be the login name. Above reference is for 6u01 install only

Hi,
I'm receiving exactly the same error when I try to deploy it silently to a Windows 2003 SP2 server. 1.4.2_13 works perfectly, so I've just decided to use that. Hopefully it will be fixed for 1.4.2_15.
The silent install command line I'm using is:
j2re-1_4_2_14-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v"/qb ADDLOCAL=ALL IEXPLORER=1 REBOOT=Suppress JAVAUPDATE=0 SYSTRAY=0 WEBSTARTICON=0 /L %SystemDrive%\BLDLOGS\java1.4.2.log"
The MSI Verbose log is:
DEBUG: Error 2203: Database: C:\DOCUME~1\SVR_BU~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\_is2\1033.MST. Cannot open database file. System error -2147287038
