I believe it was Roedy that started the claim of Java DB missing. Arne

It *used* to show, as you say. But it doesn't show for me! I'm wondering if this doesn't appear because I have a 64-bit computer? I've tried installing the 64 bit Java but that broke other things, so I install the 32 bit version. This works fine, but no JavaDB appears in the installer. It didn't appear in the Add/Remove Programs list after installing the JDK. Very strange. -- Wayne

I downloaded the 32-bit Windows version of the Java SE 6u19 JDK today, from the same standard java.sun.com download page to which you linked. Java DB showed up in the installer just as I described. Are you certain that you are talking of the JDK installer and not the JRE installer? I just installed the 64-bit Linux version of JDK 6u19 today and it put Derby in $JAVA_HOME/db/ just like always.
