Tried it again and it failed after 31 seconds. Specifying multiple user install, therefore it goes into Program Files. Opened the install file with 7zip and tried to copy it to Program Files\J602 and received several errors. It wouldn't let me copy the list of files it had trouble with, but j.exe was one of them. Renamed j602 to j602o and tried to run 7zip to create a new j602. I know that this probably wouldn't work right, but I wanted to see if it got any errors. Vista went crazy saying that the files still existed. I've seen this before. Things in Program Files can be deleted but they're still there. Ran 7zip extract to another directory and it succeeded. Ran j.exe and it got errors but it did come up.
Deleted j602o and the install worked fine. Should have tried to run the install after I renamed j602 to j602o but I didn't. I tried 7zip which went crazy. Weird!
