java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0-C)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0-C, mixed mode)

The first time after I installed JDK 1.3 on the Chinese version of Windows 98
or Windows NT (I did not test on Windows 95, but I believe the same issue will
be there), when I entered the command "java", the system reported:

Error opening registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment'
Error: could not find java.dll
Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment.

The problem was that the key name "Java Runtime Environment" (as well as "Java
Plug-in") had been (erroneously) translated into Chinese.

C:\>java -version
Failed reading value of registry key:
        Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\CurrentVersion
Error: could not find java.dll
Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment.

I installed Jre 1.3 International version on Simplified Chinese WindowS NT 4.0.
The installation is ok. But I can't run java anymore. I alway get the
following message:


Failed reading value of registry key:
        Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\CurrentVersion
Error: could not find java.dll
Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment.


I checked Windows registry, I found that registry key for "Java Runtime
Environment" is in Chinese. So system can't find other files.

I also found that I can't use jni to start JavaVM anymore in Chinese NT 4.0.

I tested the same procedures on Japanese OS, that perfect. Registry key is in
English.


We need this function very urgent. Please help us out.

After installing JDK 1.3, type "java", you will be given following output:

Error opening registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment'
Error: could not find java.dll
Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment.

You will also find double click the Java Plug-in icon in Control Panel can't
activate Java Plug-in set up dialog.

If you open Registry Editor (run "regedit"), you will find under
Software\JavaSoft entity, the elements "Java Plug-in" and "Java Runtime
Environment" are written in Chinese.

I do think the installation program insert elements to Registry Table in
Chinese but Java Plug-in set up program and JVM find them in English because
when I overwrite those entities in Engish manually, the JVM and Plug-in set up
program run will.
