OK, I fixed it :)  I now have a freenet-Java-Webinstall.exe bundled with J2SE
1.5.0_5. I would put it up on the web somewhere but my webspace is broken and I
don't exactly trust free putfile services for something like this, I can email
it to some project person if they can accept a ~15MB file.

I just tested it on an XP SP2 box and it worked flawlessly first time. Well,
about as flawlessly as the winstaller has ever worked ;) yet *another* bug is
that it appears to always download seednodes.ref even if you tell it not to,
 sigh.

Alternatively it might be easier / ease your paranoia to build it yourself;
neccessary steps, as far as I remember them :

- Get Contrib tree as usual, do what HowToMakeInstalls.txt says and IIRC I also
had to put UpdateSnapshot.exe in Contrib/wininstall/update
- Get latest windows Java (full offline version!) from www.java.com, put in
wininstall dir
- Edit JAVAINSTALLER line in freenet-java.nsi to match JRE exe name, e.g :
!define JAVAINSTALLER jre-1_5_0_05-windows-i586-p.exe
- makensis freenet-java.nsi
