Subject:   Unable to locate the Innotek system directory in the registry

Hi All

I have just come across an unusual error. Using firefox I lost the use
use of java, even though the java dlls are still in the plugin
directory. After checking some more I tried a Java -version at the
command prompt and come up with the message 'Unable to locate the
Innotek system directory in the registry'. Does anybody know where and
what it should be set to? My boot drive is D:. In the registry I can
locate Innotek, Innowin, Regroot_Hkey_currentuser, Software, Microsoft,
Windows, Currentversion, Explorer, Shellfolders all set to
D:\programs\innowin\ etc.

Regards
Ken

Hi Ed, Ken,

That was my first thought when I saw you suggest it!

I too have seen that message - not in quite a while now -ISTR that it 
came up when I was using RSJ - I wondered what the heck that message had 
to do with RSJ?

Mike

Hi Mike.

Had a go at that already. However it looks like it needs something else
run first. Ed and Ian sent me java142 off-list, so I will try that as it
should be easier.

Hi Mike

Just downloaded it from os2site dot com.

I am not sure what could have caused it for me. I just happened to
decide to use webmin filemanager on my website and that's when I
realised Java was no longer working. I noticed just before using Java,
that flash was no longer working and I just re-installed using flashinst
in the moz_plugin directory and it worked fine. I did some searching and
it might be that system.dat and user.dat could be corrupt. I am now
going to put them in the os2.key files to be backed up in case this
happens again. Anything to do with windows is bound to fail.

Ken

Hi Ken,

It's on your RC6 Cd in \cid\server\java142 along with the java142.txt 
file that says in part:

3. Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Installation of the InnoTek OS/2 Kit for Java 1.4.2_09
is very straightforward. The installation program
is available in two versions (Runtime Edition or
SDK). Installation is performed using the self
extracting installer. In standard mode, a user
interface will guide you through the installation.
When selecting the target directory, you are free
to choose any directory on a drive supporting long
filenames (for best performance, JFS or HPFS386
formatted drives are recommended).

The installer also provides support for fully
automated installations (CID). More information
about performing unattended installations can
be found by calling the installer with the /?
parameter. For a sample unattended installation
to e:\java142, use the following
command line:

install.exe /u /d=e:\java142

NOTE: Do not install a JRE on top of an existing SDK
      installation (or vice versa). Manually delete
      the old directory first.

3.1 Java Plug-In Installation
In order to install support for the Java
Plug-In in Mozilla for OS/2 or IBM Web Browser
for OS/2, copy the following files from the
JRE bin directory to the plugins directory of
the browser:

- npj2.dll
- npj2_j11.dll
- npj2_j12.dll
- npj2_j13.dll
- npj2_j14.dll
- npj2_j32.dll
- npj2_jpi.dll

Do not copy any additional files. Currently, there is
no automated installation of the Java Plug-In. Please
note that when updating to a later build of the
InnoTek OS/2 Kit for Java 1.4.2_09, you have to also
update the Java Plug-In files again. Note that when
there is a version mismatch between the Java Plug-In
and the OS/2 Kit for Java installation, you will
receive a warning message at browser startup time.

If you use a recent Mozilla (1.5 or newer) or
IBM Web Browser version built using the GCC compiler
suite an additional module is necessary for Java
plugin support. You may download this DLL (ipluginw.dll)
from the Mozilla for OS/2 page.

 
3.2 Java Web Start Browser Configuration
In order to integrate Java Web Start with your browser,
you have to register it as a helper application. Due to
the various browser products and versions available on
OS/2, this is not done automatically during installation.

In the browser settings, open the helper application
settings and define a new type. Use the following
values to define the entry:

Description of type: Java Web Start
File Extension: jnl jnlp
MIME type: application/x-java-jnlp-file
Application to use: <installdir>\jre\javaws\javaws.exe

Note that when installing the JRE, javaws.exe will
be located at <installdir>\javaws\javaws.exe.

HTH

Regards,
Mike

Hi Ken, Ed,

Yes that's a certainty!
AFAIR Registry.dat is associated with Netscape/Mozilla/Seamonkey/firefox 
et al.
If you look with Regedit2.exe, you'll see all the regular M$ keys in 
there - in addition to the os2*.ini entries.

Mike

You can also download Java 1.4 from www.ecomstation dot com.  It is a

Hi Mike

I also had to run the innotek install program, which I downloaded from
os2site dot com, then I was able to run the java142 install. I now have java
working ok and have to sort out why the plugin doesn't work under
firefox, however that might have to wait until tomorrow.

Ken
