Description rpolson 2003-07-20 19:52:21 UTC 
Windows98, 1.1RC
During installation jvmsetup.exe doesn't find java run time envinroment.  After
fiddling around for awhile,  the directory which finally makes the installer
happy is in "c:\program files\javasoft\JRE\1.3.0_01"  This directory has a \bin
and \lib subdirectories and a few license and readme files. 

When I tried to find a runtime enviroment I assumed the installer was looking
for a secific file name or extension.  The "help" button on the installer tells
to find the root directory (Javahome). It would be useful, especially for
semi-skilled users such as myself, if the "Help" hint said the Javahome
directory contains only other directories.

The java requirement have been raised for OOo 1.1. See feature mail:
StarOffice and OpenOffice now need a SUN Java 1.4.0_02 or higher. The
exception is version 1.4.1 which is not supported, but version
1.4.1_01 and higher are.
This requirement is valid for these platforms:
-Solaris SPARC
-Linux x86
-Windows

Reason for this requirement is that new features, such as
accessibility, depend on the new versions.
