I have tried both the IBM JDK v1.3, and the Sun JDK (enterprise edition) v1.3, and neither of these JDKs can be found by the Tomcat Installshield. In both cases the error message is: "Couldn't find a Java Development Kit installed on this computer. Please download one from http://java.sun.com" There is nothing I can find in the release notes to say that XP is specifically not supported, nor is there an explanation anywhere of where Tomcat is trying to find the JDK (registry? environment? somewhere else?), nor is there is an option to say "point me at a JDK", which is a pretty obvious pice of functionality to have. I've just sold the concept of Tomcat to a bunch of people as being pretty easy to use - so far it's impossible to use under windows, and I'm pretty embarrassed about the whole thing. Is there some guiding light anyone can share?
