I think the problem is that there is more than just the JAVA_HOME and PATH to worry about. There are some registry setting that get changed, specifically a setting that indicates the installed version. I'll just wait until tomorrow and do the RC2 build at work on a Unix box. I've gotten everything else done on my local Windows (site build, jdiff, etc.) so installing 1.2 and doing the binary build on Unix shouldn't be too much trouble.
