117815 - Can't install java for 2002010203

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 100393

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[flyguy]

I downloaded and opened 

ftp.netscape.com/pub/netscape6/english/6.2/windows/win32/plugins/jre131i.xpi

and mozilla said that the install was sucessful but the plugins were not put
into the mozilla plugin directory and when I tried about:plugins the java plugin
wasn't listed and java.sun.com didn't work.  I did see the jre go through the
whole installation process the only part that seems to be missing is populating
the plugin directory with the java plugin files.

I usually just copy all files from the old mozilla plugin directory into the new
mozilla plugin directory and that usually works but it crashed - just sat doing
nothing - on java.sun.com so I decided to install the new jre131i.xpi but that
didn't work.

Same issue with 2002010203.

I tried installing the same xpi file and then manually copying the

05/06/2001  11:14a              49,245 NPJava12.dll

files from the JRE to the mozilla plugins directory.  Clicking about:plugins lists

I tried installing again at home with the same setup except with Service pack 2 
and it worked.  I think there is just a bug with the Java Runtime because at 
home when it starts up I see the little java guy in the system tray but on this 
computer I just see the browser trying to start it up but it never succeeds.  
It might just be that my registry keys get messed up because I use the non-
installer build.

I just tried the newest daily build using the installer - 2002011103 - and I
just copied the java plugin files from the JRE - I didn't reinstall the jre -
and it did the same thing.  

Maybe I'll try installing service pack 2 for w2k and try again.  Otherwise... 
not sure what I can do.
