ERROR: Java(TM) failes to apply changes to your system

[coco]

Hi, I downloaded the j2sdk1.4.2_04, but when I installed it I got two errors
"Java(TM) failes to apply changes to your system" and
"Error 1722". There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected."

I've tried reinstalling it.
It looks like it all works tho, but when I compile programs all of them are named 'Utskrift.class' , which I guess would be 'Output.class' in English. It works, but I can only have one file at a time...
Anyone know what could be wrong here?
Oh, and the .java files should be in the same directory as java and javac right? (/bin)

Thanks.

Are you logged on as administrator when you install the SDK? If not, the installer probably tried to change some environment variables and didn't have permissions.

Not really. In fact, it's better you have them on a separate directory altogether. You need to add the /bin directory of the SDK to the path environment variable of your computer, then you'll be able to run javac and java from any directory (including the directory where you store your project's source files).
