Joe Cynical suggests: the average user probably wouldnt be bothered by having both a 32-bit and a 64-bit JRE's, especially if told that he's supposed to. Make "simple install" just install JRE automatically and "expert mode" let the user manually give the path to his JRE. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [email protected] http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
