In my case the failure is only on Vista Pro. I have not tried to install it on XP yet. The installer insists on being run as admin. And, sure enough, j602 is in the virtual store. But the path to the virtual store was "C:\Users\Don\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\J602". Throw in a Local. I have had strange things happen with files in the Program Files directory. I have deleted jprofilex.ijs from the config directory and it's still found by J initialization, yet it does not show up on a directory list. Thank you for pointing out where Microsoft stuffed the virtual store. Think I'm going to clean out the whole thing, including a bunch of temp files in there. Disk space is too cheap!
If I have more problems installing I will clean out the virtual store and see if that helps. Will let you know.
