    Java and Firebird

    I have Firebird installed to E:\program files\MozillaFirebird and java just won't install.

    Flash installed fine, but java no. It's the stupid installer trying to be clever.

    Any ideas on how to sort it?
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    there's a registry hack you need to apply, which makes the Java installer think you have Mozilla 1.5 - it then happily installs into the Firebird plugins folder.

    i'll try & fish for the correct key

    Code:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\mozilla.org\Mozilla]
    "CurrentVersion"="1.5"

    That reg tree didn't exist, so I created it and set up a string with the name and value above.

    However it didn't seem to work. Any idea why?

    you have to install again after setting that key

    use the XPI installer on sun's site
