A description of the problem :
I created an installshield 6.3 application which is
supposed to launch the installer for Java(TM) 2 SDK,
Standard Edition Version 1.3.1 silently and after
completion, launch the Tomcat 4.0.1 installer and finish up
installing files that I created. I created a response file
by running the setup with -a -r -f1c:\setupJDK.iss. I then
ran the installer again with -s -a -s -
f1PathtoISS\setupJDK.iss. The problem that I am
encountering is that the installer for Java 2 SDK version
1.3.1 always throws a ResponseCode of -12 in the setup.log
file which it creates and then the java 2 sdk 1.3.1
uninstalls from the machine and then Tomcat cannot find the
jdk. Please tell me that there is a fix for this. I know
that when you try a normal install of java 2 sdk 1.3.1,
sometimes it tells you to reboot your machine, sometimes it
doesn't. Kind of tough to plan for that.

Steps to follow to reproduce the problem :
1.Create an automated response file with the j2sdk-1_3_1_01
2.run in silent install mode -s -a -s -f1c:\locresponsefile
3.java 2 sdk uninstalls itself

Error messages/stack traces that occur :
ResponseCode=-12 in the setup.log file

This bug can be reproduced always.
