Ahh, you posted logs from the old and new installer. I only noticed the 
ones from the old installer when i read your message.

Old installer: The Java installer with all the different pages.
New installer: Only a single page (should look like this: 
http://privat.zero3.dk/FreenetInstaller_MainGUI.png (old screenshot, but 
you get the idea)).

You should only test the *new* one. I'll try commenting on your results 
for the new installer:

"2. Installer does not see java as installed."

Did you already have Java installed at this point? If so, which version? 
  And what is the values of the registry keys "CurrentVersion" and 
"RuntimeLib" under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime 
Environment"?

"5. Does not like my existing node, so much for seeing if I could
  upgrading in place.  :) "

As the new installer is fundamentally different from the old one, it 
won't be possible to upgrade your installation via the installer. Simply 
keeping identity/settings/datastore/etc. have been discussed, but so far 
postponed for a later version (a quite complicated process compared to 
how few users that will actually use it). But in the ideal world, it 
would indeed be possible :).

"7. Fails to start system service as above, again."

Which kind of error do you get?

"Spoke too soon, the java installed via the Freenet installer
installs 32 bit java in %windir%\syswow64 as well as "Program
Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin"."

That is true. The installer will always install the 32-bit version if 
Java is not found. I don't actually know if we ought to install the 
32-bit version or 64-bit version? The wrapper (and Freenet?) is 32-bit, 
but maybe the 64-bit version of Java can run it anyway? Or? Anyone?

"Better way would be for the installer to see the existing 64 bit
java me thinks."

Exactly! If 64-bit Java runs Freenet, I just need to figure out how to 
detect the 64-bit version (see my questions about registry keys above).

Thanks for your help so far btw.!
