FULL OS VERSION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
During installation of the J2SE 1.4.2 Beta SDK, if the user attempts to specify an installation folder on a read-only drive (e.g. a CD-ROM drive), the following error message is displayed:
"Error 1325.<directory> is not a valid short file name."
where <directory> is the name of the first directory in the installation path specified. For example, if the installation path was specified as D:\java\j2sdk1.4.2\, <directory> will be "java".
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Double-click the J2SE 1.4.2 Beta SDK installer.
2. Accept the license agreement.
3. On the 'Custom Setup' page, click the 'Change...' button to specify the installation directory.
4. Type D:\j2sdk1.4.2, where D: is a CD-ROM Drive.
5. Click OK.
6. The error message is displayed.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The error message should reflect the fact that a read-only or write-protected drive was selected for installation.
ACTUAL -
The error message incorrectly identifies the source of the error, indicating that the filename entered by the user was invalid.
ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
Error 1325.j2sdk1.4.2 is not a valid short file name.
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

I ran the sdk installer on win2k sp3 and winxp and the error message is correct:
"Error 1303. The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: D:\java. The installation cannot continue. Log on as an administrator or contact your system administrator."
The error message is correct, therefore I cannot reproduce. Is this reproducible on more than one machine?
