      Description


        ###@###.### 2003-02-25

        J2SE Version (please include all output from java -version flag):
          java version "1.4.2-beta"
          Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-beta-b14)
          Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-beta-b14, mixed mode)

        Bug Description:
          Documentation for ActiveX Bridge 1.4.2-b14 tells the user that
          for manual registration he has to call regsvr32.exe, what is
          located in the winnt\system32 directory. For that is true for
          NT and 2000, this is not true for 98 (I assume for 98SE, ME and XP, too).

          On 98SE (and I assume 98SE, ME and XP also) this file is located in
          windows\system but not in winnt\system32.

          Either don't tell the user where the file to find at all,
          or you have to correct the documentation. It's very frustrating having
          a step-by-step manual that does not work.

        Steps to Reproduce (be specific):
          Scan harddisk for regsvr32.exe on Windows 98, 98SE, ME, XP.
          You will find regsvr32.exe not in winnt\system32 but in another
          directory.
