Installation from setup.exe on Pentium III

[CR #333911] On some Pentium III (P3) hardware environments running Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6, installation from setup.exe stalls after 30 seconds. An InstallShield (java.exe) process is still running as seen in Task Manager, but CPU activity is stalled. This problem has been seen on a very small subset of our WinNT on P3 environments, and does not poes a problem on most other similar WinNT on P3 environments tested.

Workaround: There are two ways to workaround this install problem.

  1. Run in console (text) mode installation:

    .\setup -is:javaconsole -console
    
  2. Run with JRE 1.3.1:

    .\setup -is:javahome <full path to the JRE 1.3.1>
