Hi. I too have experienced the same problem trying to get Tomcat 4.0.1 to install on Windows when i *do* have a valid Sun SDK (d:\jdk1.3.1_02). I have already checked the registry as I suspected that this is where the Tomcat installer is looking and the relevant entries are there - yet i am still getting the same error message from the tomcat installer as per the orginal poster of this thread. The difference is that I am using NT4SP6a so are there any other registry entries i should be looking for?
for reference here are my registry entries:- HKLM/SOFTWARE/JavaSoft/Java Development Kit CurrentVersion = "1.3" HKLM/SOFTWARE/JavaSoft/Java Development Kit/1.3 JavaHome = "D:\jdk1.3.1_02" MicroVersion = "1" HKLM/SOFTWARE/JavaSoft/Java Development Kit/1.3.1 JavaHome = "D:\jdk1.3.1_02" MicroVersion = "1" HKLM/SOFTWARE/JavaSoft/Java Development Kit/1.3.1_02 [no entries - aside from default] I have tried entering the JavaHome and Microversion keys to:- HKLM/SOFTWARE/JavaSoft/Java Development Kit/1.3.1_02 with no effect, and also amended the CurrentVersion key to "1.3.1_02" again with no luck. Any other suggestions? TIA William ------------------------------------------------------- From: Ion Larra�aga Subject: RE: Problem with Tomcat 4.0.1 installer: Cannot find JDK! Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2001 00:52:23 -0800 The Tomcat 4.0.1 installer for Windows uses register entries to detect the JDK installation directory. Check the value of CurrentVersion under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/JavaSoft/Java Development Kit. For instance, in my computer I have 1.4. Then, check JavaHome under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/JavaSoft/Java Development Kit/1.4 (in my case), which must point to the java directory. The error you report seems to happen when the installer is unable to find the current version value. Hope it helps Ion __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
