Hi,
I can't get Freenet 0.7 to install on Windows XP. At first I got this
message:
Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in C:\Program
Files\Java\jre1.5.0_07\lib\tools.jar
antinstaller.jarC:\selfextractpack.jar
pre:
[unjar] Expanding:
C:\DOCUME~1\MyLogin\LOCALS~1\Temp\antinstall0\"C:\selfextractpack.jar" into
C:\DOCUME~1\MyLogin\LOCALS~1\Temp\antinstall0
I searched for tools.jar in my Java folder and found a copy in my JDK, so I
tried copying it over to \jre1.5.0_07\lib\ and tried again. This time I
received this error:
antinstaller.jarC:\selfextractpack.jar
pre:
[unjar] Expanding:
C:\DOCUME~1\MyLogin\LOCALS~1\Temp\antinstall0\"C:\selfextractpack.jar" into
C:\DOCUME~1\MyLogin\LOCALS~1\Temp\antinstall0
I then tried reinstalling the most recent JRE and got a really long
exception message which sums up to:
org.tp23.antinstaller.InstallException: Error running the install
...
Caused by: jar:file:/C:/selfextractpack.jar!/build.xml:36: Error while
expanding
C:\DOCUME~1\MyLogin\LOCALS~1\Temp\antinstall\"C:\selfextractpack.jar"
...
Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException:
C:\DOCUME~1\MyLogin\LOCALS~1\Temp\antinstall\"C:\selfextractpack.jar" (The
filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)
I'm assuming the error has something to do with the:
\Temp\antinstall\"C:\selfextractpack.jar", but there's nothing I can do
about that near as I can figure.
I've tried using the web installer, which didn't work on the first try, but
did work after I tried using C:\selfextractpack.jar downloaded from
downloads.freenetproject.org/alpha/. I also tried the freenet.jnlp, but
with the same result. I tried both online and offline - beginner and power
user options.
So, I'm finally out of ideas. Any help would be much appreciated.
