(Answer) (Category) FAQ-O-Matic : (Category) JBuilder 5 General :
I've installed JBuilder5 successfully, but the documentation and samples installers won't execute. They insist JBuilder itself isn't present even when I point them directly at the JBuilder5 folder.
The secondary installers seem to make the bad assumption that no other JDK will be on the PATH. They seem to find pre-existing JDKs and expect jbuilder to be located relative to those locations.

Workarounds people have posted include:

  1) removing extra JDKs from the search path, leaving only JBuilder's JDK
  2) ininstalling all other JDKs temporarily, including 1.2.x and 1.1.x versions.

On windows you may need to reboot before the changes become visible to the installers.

This problem is most common on windows but may also happen on unix platforms as well.

1. Open a Command prompt

2. Type 'set PATH=<path to JBuilder's JDK>' e.g.

   set PATH=C:\jbuilder5\jdk1.3

3. Run doc_install.exe from that same prompt.
