      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      java version "1.5.0_01"
      Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_01-b08)
      Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_01-b08, mixed mode, sharing)

      ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
      Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

      EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
      this problem also occurs using the Online installer.

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      Both the Windows Online and Offline installers for JDK 1.5.0_01 ignore when I deselect the "Demos" and "Public JRE" components for installation, and it always installs the "Demos" component.

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      1. Start Offline installer.
      2. Changed default install dir, for example to "c:\devtools\jdk1.5.0_01" (this dir does not exist).
      3. Deselect the "Demos" and "Public JRE" components.
      4. Proceed with installation. When installation finishes, I'm told I need to restart windows (interesting, given I didn't install the public jre...) AND the c:\devtools\jdk1.5.0_01 dir contains a "demo" and "sample" dir filled with stuff.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      The install dir should not contain any components that were excluded in the install configuration screens.


      ACTUAL -
      The install directory contains a "demo" and "samples" dir filled with stuff.

      At least the installer didn' t appear to install the Public JRE.


      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced always.

      CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
      None that I know of.
