deployment.properties error - Xms\Xmx args causing JRE cannot be loaded

I just installed JRE 1.5.0_11 on a clean XP install. For some reason, whenever I try to specify -Xms256m and -Xmx256m via the Java control panel for the applet arguments, I get the error stating that "The Java Runtime Environment cannot be loaded" then a second stating that "Several Java Virtual Machines running in the same process caused an error".

I tested these from command line (java.exe -jar ..\lib\javaws.jar -Xms256m -Xmx256m) and got an error stating that it "Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribue from ..\lib\javaws.jar". So, since it wasnt an error about starting java.exe, I figure it is working properly from CLI.

here is my deployment.properties file:

#####

#deployment.properties

deployment.browser.vm.iexplorer=true

deployment.browser.vm.mozilla=false

deployment.javapi.jre.1.5.0_11.path=C\:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.5.0_11

deployment.javapi.jre.1.5.0_11.osarch=x86

Any help would be great!

Thanks,

I did some further testing and found that having Microsoft Office 2003 installed is causing the issue.

We have MS Office 2003 installing from an administrative install with all hotfixes slipstreamed. Has anyone else ran into this problem before?

As stated before, Java only has a hard time when the Xms and Xmx arguments are specified.
