Summary: Plugin 1.3.0_01 cab-based automatic installation in IE/Windows crashes
in jinstall.

See the comments at the end of bug 4337038 as well.
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4337038.html

Basically, the automatic installation in IE on windows 2000 or NT using the
specification
<OBJECT classid="clsid:E19F9330-3110-11d4-991C-005004D3B3DB"
codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3.0_01/jinstall-130_01-
win32.cab#Version=1,3,0,1"
...

starts the installation of the Plugin, but then crashes in jinstall with a GPF.

5.00.2314.1003IC, 5.00.2614.3500, 5.00.2920.0000, 5.50.4134.0600.

java version "1.3.0_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0_01, mixed mode)

downloaded 1.3.0_01 plugin and worked great. decided to uninstall 1.3 plugin.
now I get "system cannot find registry key specified" when I try to run the
1.3.0_01 plugin from the control panel (Win 2000 Server). Nor will it run an
applet through IE5.5
uninstalled 1.3.0_01 plugin and tried to reinstall from your site. if I go
through an applet on page:
(http://192.9.48.9/products/plugin/1.3.0_01/demos/applets/MoleculeViewer/example
1.html) I get the error: 'jinstall.exe - applicaton error instruction @
x004049eb ref mem @ x000013a0. the memory could not be "read".'
I have rebooted and same thing. I uninstalled 1.3.0_01 reinstalled 1.3 plugin
and 1.3 works try to download 1.3.0_01 and I get the same error.
What do I need to do to clean this up so it will work?

Using W2K SP1/MSIE 5.5 SP1 & Netscape 6. Installed J2 SDK v1.3.0 including RE
and plug-ins for MSIE5.5 installed OK. Installed RE v1.3.0_01 for Netscape 6
and plug-ins for MSIE corrupt (N6 appears OK). I get 2 'damaged' entries for
v1.3.0_01 and the plug-in for v1.3.0 disappears in MSIE.

I get the same problem in MSIE if I de-install completely both versions and only
re-install RE v1.3.0_01. N6 plug-ins OK.

I have written a Java Applet that requires Java Plug-in 1.3.0_01
I have in the codebase line:
codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3.0_01/jinstall-130_01-
win32.cab#Version=1,3,0,1">
When I launch the html page with the applet from an IE browser that doesn't
have the plugin installed, IE will try to download the plugin.
Jinstall will launch
I choose
Locale: U.S. English
Region: USA
The only highlighted location is
USA, JavaSoft/Sun Microsystems, Cupertino, CA (1).
I then click Install
A majority of the time the attempt to download JSetup.exe (j2re-1_3_0_01-
win.exe)
will fail and crash jinstall

I also downloaded the cab file directly and unpacked it to run jinstall
manually and I get the same crash a majority of the time

Side Note (minor bug I thought you might want to be aware of):
When IE shows you a security warning asking if we want to download and install
Java Plug-in 1.3.0._01 the link it shows is:
http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3.0_01/newuser.html
which doesn't exist
