Just did a test on a teachers machine in the office that has Windows 7. Her account was admin level, but it wout not install in the program directory, and when I tried to install in C:\tn5250j as I had before it also failed? Opened a command prompt window (regular, not run as admin) and was able to create the directory? Then had the install try again, and it gave the message that directory already exist, but then continued installing with no problem. On this machine for some reason, the javaw was in the system32 directory, and was therefor seen with no problem by the batch file? It would be nice if it was consistant in how it acted?
