Description Unknown 2003-03-01 02:29:55 UTC
My original posting read as follows:
Whenever I click on the install icon, I get an error message - Cannot launch Java application main class "com.zerog.lax.LAX" could not be loaded.  I am new to this stuff.  What should I do?  I am using OS 10.2.4.
console reads:
2003-02-28 09:30:53.603 iCal[328] Launch of helper planned at : 02/28/03 10:30:53
[LaunchRunner Error] The main class "com.zerog.lax.LAX" could not be found.

hi jolly, 
  
 First. Did you install the December or July 2002 Apple Developer Tools or a Java141DP? If so then this is a known bug. The Installer crashes with some DPs and with others he does his job. But there is a workaround for this problem since not only the OpenOffice Installer crahes but some other programs installers too.  
  
 Take a look at this post  [url=http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=754266&forum_id=57137 ] here [/url] at the sourceforge forum.  t is the fith post in the thread. The author is pdseniura.  
  
 This helped me to solve the problem with the OOo installer.   You should stick with Java 1_3 unless 1_4 is fully working with OS X and only relink to 1_4 if you truely need 1_4.

My reply to him was:
 I followed your instructions and Terminal returned this: 
 java version "1.3.1" 
 Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1-root_1.3.1_020714-12:46) 
 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_03-69, mixed mode) 
 So I guess I am using 1.3 now

Any help on how I can get this installed with minimum damage would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks-jolly
