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


bug1:
   a) Download j2sdk1_3_0-win.exe from ftp.java.sun.com
   b) Install JDK to c:\java\jdk1.3.0 by double clicking the executable.
   C) Make sure the PATH environment variable contains only
c:\java\jdk1.3.0\bin.
   d) Open a dos command window
   e) type java, and press enter
   f) the error information appears(not very precise):
The registration item "software\javasoft\Java Runtime
Environment\CurrentVision" not found.
bug2. a) open control pane
   b) click Java Plug-in
   c) nothing happened.

The reason:
  My OS is Windows NT 4.0 with service pack 5, Simple Chinese version. So due to
JDK1.3's localization, it creates two registration entries with Chinese
character name under SOFTWARE\JAVASOFT: "Java Plug-in" and "Java Runtime
Environment". Both of the two entries are originally labeled with Chinese
characters, not English ASCII charactors, after the installation. So, when I try
to run "java" command, it can not find the English labels "Java Runtime
Environment". And the "Java Plug-in" item in Control Pane doesn't work due to
"Java Plug-in" registration entry is also labled with Chinese Characters.
  After I changed the two items' name from Chinese to English manually, both of
them work very well now.
 
  Sorry to trouble you due to my poor English. But the bugs are really serious.
