Hi Mark,
I don't know why the installer is failing (it's a commercial product;
usually pretty solid - but not our code :-) ). Windows installers have
always been a bit of a black art to me... I suspect some subtle problem in
identifying the java home directory.
That said, if you have a working install you should be able to just
copy over the jxplorer/ directory and use the jxplorer.bat file to start?
(or set up the windows short cut yourself - it really just runs the batch
file... )
Anyone else seen this?
