Open the installer JAR file in a ZIP archiver and check that the file
installer/install.props is contained therein. I have no idea why it would be
missing though... corrupt download perhaps?

I have used the same installer on RedHat LINUX 7.3 and Jedit
4.1 installs clean.
Anyway to do a manual install?

Received this from support:
mkdir jedit_install
cd jedit_install
jar xvf <path to>\jedit41install.jar
java -classpath . installer.Install
And the install worked fine.

This is a Java bug that can happen if there are special characters in the
JAR file's path. Try putting it in the root of your C: drive, for example,
and run it again.
