Description





When executing your demo applets that have plug-ins, the Activex JInstall
component downloads OK, but after pressing the Install button it GPFs with the
following:

JINSTALL caused an invalid page fault in
module JINSTALL.EXE at 015f:00404a6b.

The machine is a Win98 machine. The machine itself has jdk1.2.2 installed.
The browser I am running is Internet Explorer 5, Version 5.00.2919.6307

The browser itself only runs java 1.1 as far as I can tell. When the plug-in
attempted to download, it looks like the Jinstall program downloaded and
started successfully, but when I pressed the Install button, I got the page
fault message (GPF).

The curious thing is that ( since I tried it multiple times), if I had the
GetRight download utility active, it would intercept the download that
Jinstall was going for. If I pressed Cancel on the download, there would be
no error, and the applet would instantiate...
But, as I said, with pure IE5 the error message would come up every time.

Loading html page. From this page trying to start applet. This applet requires
jre 1.3. I do not have it on my pc. In html is this line(for IE):

codeBase=http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/jinstall-13-win32.cab#Version=1,3,0,0

So IE goes to this address and starts to install Plug-in 1.3. After
installation shows location window, i press install button. Got GPF.

 customer  (R) VM for Java, 5.0 Release 5.0.0.3167
IE 5


I want to test the new Java 1.3 PlugIn. After starting the download the
program "jinstall.exe" crashes. I've tested on Windows NT 4.0 (IE4) and now on
Windows 98 (IE5) - same problem. Please go to your own Demonstration pages for
the Java 1.3 PlugIn to test the phenomenom.

Classic VM (build JDK-1.2.2-001, native threads, symcjit

I using a Window NT 4.0 PC with SP5 with no Java plugin installed.  Downloading
the new 1.3 plugin causes a GPF in JInstall.exe.   This error only occurs when
plugin is embedded in an HTML page (i.e.  <OBJECT classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-
11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
WIDTH = 170 HEIGHT = 150
codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/jinstall-13-
win32.cab#Version=1,3,0,0">
...).   For example, when i try to run the clock demo applet
(http://192.9.48.9/products/plugin/1.3/demos/applets/Clock/example1.html), a
GPF occurs.

When I go to the JavaSoft web site and manually download the 1.3 plugin, this
error doesn't occur.

Work Around




I downlaoded it seperately as the j2re1_3_0-win.exe and installed the software
that way. That made my browser work, but not for the users of my web site.

Evaluation
This is indeed a bug in the JInstall, and it has been fixed.

Seems to be back in 1.3.0_001

I've tried IE4, 5, 5.5 on Win2000, WinNT, 98.  All fail 
with the symptoms described above.

See your own demonstration page at 
http://192.9.48.9/products/plugin/1.3.0_01/demos/applets/Clo
ck/example1.html

(Make sure you don't yet have the 1.3.0_01 plugin 
installed).

It is definitely back in 1.3.0_01.  C'mon gang, this is a little careless.

Does anyone test the plugin?  Besides adding user-
unfriendly trace messages to the already ugly grey-
background, now the installer crashes (AGAIN!!!) in 
1.3.0_001.

the jinstall.exe in jinstall-130_01_win32.cab is 102484 
bytes
the jinstall.exe in jinstall-13-win32.cab is 102492 bytes
the jinstall.exe that is 102484 bytes crashes, the other 
does not.

When all is said and done, jinstall.exe gets extracted from 
jinstall-130_01-win32.cab then gets launched like so:
&quot;jinstall.exe 
http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3.0_01/jinstall_1_3_0_
01.ini&quot;

The jinstall.exe I extracted myself from jinstall-130_01-
win32.cab and launched with the above command line gave me
the exact same errors described by this bug id. The problem
seems to be in jinstall.exe

I'm just wondering when the newer version plug-in will be 
released.
Thank you.

I am now seeing this problem with the 1.3.0_01 plugin.  
Will this be &quot;fixed&quot; again?
