Now, I've been looking deeper into my local setup, and IIC, then

lib/ext folder.
Ok..sorry upfront...this is not for this list and extremely
newbee....but what should I look for where (I am very new to MacOS
and confused by its setup). I have found /System/Library/Frameworks/
JavaVM.framework/Versions/ by now with different versions and also
e.g. /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/
Home/lib/ext/ containing apple_provider.jar, dnsns.jar,
localedata.jar, sunjce_provider.jar, sunpkcs11.jar but nothing
imageio like. Am I looking in the wrong place or have I not
installed enough (I do have XCode installed)
My mistake. It's not the standard lib/ext. When I installed it for
Java 1.4, apparently JAI was put under /System/Java/Extensions (where
the Quicktime for Java JAR also resides), hence why it was also
automagically available under Java 1.5.
No idea why the install would fail on your system, though. Maybe a
bug, due to the fact that, as you suggested, the install-package is
quite old, and no longer works on more recent versions of OS X (?)
Unfortunately, I don't know how the installer checks for Java being
present, but I have stumbled on similar weirdness with other
installers because of folder-permissions being screwed up somehow. To
see whether that is the case, simply run the standard Disk Utility
(under /Applications/Utilities) and verify the file permissions for
the disk in question.
HTH!
Cheers
