I haven't looked at your problems in detail, but these comments might help.
Study Help>User Manual>Install page. In particular the section Customized
User Folder.
If you want the standard profile, then I would strongly recommend against
starting J with your own profile. You should start J normally and let normal
mechanisms provide the customization you require.
With luck you will find that a custom install to the folder of your choice
combined with careful modification of profile_template.ijs to create
profilex.ijs will give you what you want.
I would be wary of a multi-user install that has the same user folders for
all users. This is against the intended structure and use. It might be
better to have private user folders and then simple mechanism to provide a
common shared folder.

Subject: [Jgeneral] install & configure J602 under Windows XP
The J602 installer for Windows offers three choices none of which is what
I want: I want to install for all users, but NOT in c:\Program Files.
The best I could do was to install as a single user and to select the
program installation directory I wanted, D:\Language\j602\bin\j.exe.
But I do NOT want to keep any user files in
C:\[user]\j602-user
but rather inside the the single Juser directory that I want to specify,
just like I always have before (with recent releases) by means of suitable
configuration files include a profile.ijs -- see below.
I note that the installer did create C:\[user]\j602-user but except for 4
empty subdirectories, that directory is completely empty.
The J program shortcut I use has target
D:\Language\j602\bin\j.exe -jprofile
d:\language\Juser\config6\myprofile.ijs
and starts in the installation directory, d:\language\j602.
The myprofile.ijs referred to above includes:
NB. create SYSTEMFOLDERS
NB. the entry for binary is added in boot.ijs
sep=. PATHSEP_j_
prf=. PROFILE {.~ PROFILE i: sep
add=. 'd:\language\Jaddons'
sys=. prf,sep,'system'
tmp=. 2!:5'JHOME'
usr=. 'd:\language\Juser'
cfg=. 'd:\language\Juser\config6'
hlp=. sys,sep,'extras',sep,'help'
hom=. (0&e. { ;&prf) 2!:5 'JHOME'
ids=. ;: 'profile system addons temp user config help home'
SYSTEMFOLDERS_j_=: ids ,. prf;sys;add;tmp;usr;cfg;hlp;hom
And the version of startup.ijs in that same d:\language\Juser\config6
includes:
NB. Provide global for environment var JHOME
HOME_z_=: (2!:5'JHOME'),'\'
TEMP_j_=: (2!:5'JHOME')
This startup.ijs is what referred to in the entry
STARTUP=: 'd:\language\Juser\config6\startup.ijs'
in d:\language\Juser\config6\config.ijs.
When I try to start the program using the shortcut as modified, I get
error message: "Error and no IDE window for debugging.
What's wrong and how can it be fixed?
