Sorry. I think that error is something else again, caused
by a stupid mistake on my part. The JNLP was directly
changed from 1.4 to 1.6, and I did not bother to check
the autoinstaller for 1.6 was available.

It seems your system is either 1.5, or 1.5 JWS is not
locating the 1.6 JRE? Are either of those things possible?
(both versions should be listed in the console).

Are you using 1.6 on that box yet?

In any case, the exception I am getting (from 1.6 JWS) is..

The message delivered to the console (copy/pasted) is..

Andrew:

I am using Sun's 1.6 JDK. The box is WinXP SP2.
