I have finally (after two days of struggle) installed Java 1.4.1.
Now that that is finished and confirmed, I have a new problem: when running the installer, everything begins as normal, but after trut after trying to launch the installer, it can't find one of the classes.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Launching installer...

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/zerog/lax/LAX
-----------------------------------------------------------
Has anyone seen this before, or can interpret it beyond the fact that it can't find on of the Java class objects?
