#1 Install fails

[Brill Pappin]

The install simply fails.
I'm running JDK 1.3 on Windows 2000 and thats about all I can tell you. I've included all the info I have below.

C:\junk>java -cp . Install
try path C:\junk\ set Url base to
MalformedURL ; java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol:
can not get flavour null for os Windows 2000

When setting the URL, did you use the following method:
URL url = new URL("file:C:/path_to_stuff");

Failed here on FreeBSD 4.3 with native 1.2.2 JDK, too. But
with different cause.
