mayherstupidmouth: There is a chance you received this error b/c your installshield engines need updating (for the english installer.) I put a sticky at the top of the installation>windows section to explain about this & where to go to update your install engines. At present the international version uses Java 1.3 & forces it to use 1.3 to cope with international characters. But, a later version of Java is generally prefered so the english installer is generally the prefered option so it can use later versions of Java.
