It never installs Derby, even though the release notes say it is included. I have written Sun asking them to have a look at it. Something else odd, the x86 download is considerably bigger that the 64 bit download. This suggests something was likely inadvertently left out of the 64-bit download. Derby (aka JavaDB) may be in there, but the installer is ignoring it. -- Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products http://mindprod.com There is no end to what can be accomplished if you don�t care who gets the credit. ~ Art Rennison

Its prompt was shown in the same place within the installer window that it's been for the last umpteen JDK 6 installations. It allowed me to override the default location just like always. I had it install JavaDB over the same installation directory tree that Java 6u17 used; that JavaDB was already present had no impact. There was nothing hidden or obscure or even different about the JavaDB installation compared to previous JDK 6 installs. I'll get back to the group on the installation of 6u18 under 64-bit Ubuntu Linux when I do that one. -- Lew |
