A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When I try to access a page that has an Applet that needs java 1.4, the Java(TM)Installer Fails with the following message:
"The server has not found anything matching the requested URI (Uniform Resource Identifier)."
This is because the file jinstall-1_4_2_01.inf tells the installer to use the URI: http://java.sun.com/update/1.4.2/1.4.2_01-b05.xml, which does not exist (on 8/22/03).
Also, the URIs: http://java.sun.com/update/ can not be found. Is the site down?
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
This is the file that I used:(generated by the 1.4.2 HTMLConverter)
