Tested Bundle:  5.0u2_b09 JDK iftw on staging site
                http://webwork.sfbay/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp

Tested O/S:  XP-Home (sp2)

Problem: 
-------
The installer throws error messages.  I tried on three different 
XP-Home (sp2) machines in our lab. It throws error message the very first or second time and after that, it seems to work fine. 

Steps to reproduce:
------------------
1) On XP-Home(sp2) machine, try to download and install the JDK iftw bundle from
   http://webwork.sfbay/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp

2) During the installation the first or second time, one of the following messages thrown:

A) "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and than you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package"

B) Error - Java Installer
"This installer cannot continue because the files necessary for installation are unavailable. If trying to install a beta or older version, please check http://java.sun.com/j2se to determine if it is still supported. If so, please try installing at a later time, as these files might be only temporary unavailable"


This problem seems to occur on XP-Home(sp2). When error message pops up, keep trying it, it 's eventually OK.  It may confuse consumers at the first two times.
