[Jython-users] [bug report] liftoff installer failed using Sun JRE 1.1

[Brian Z. <bri...@ya...>]

With the error message:

try path C:\Download\
exception in called method net.sourceforge.liftoff.installer.Install2.main
java.lang.NullPointerException

I was testing using Sun JRE 1.1.8_005 and JRE 1.1.7B.

I also verified that the installer works ok with MS JView 5.00.3802 (I
believe equivalent to JRE 1.1.4) and Sun JRE 1.3.0_02.
