I am trying to install some components, But the installer does not go past the username/password screen. I have installed many times on the same machine before. This is the error I am getting:

 
java.lang.NullPointerException

:mad: :mad:

I am using webMethodsInstaller651.exe and I have tried many times. Any idea why I am getting this error.

Thanks,

Why java version are using with the Installer ? It should be at least jdk or jre 1.4.x
Ensure that the correct java_home/bin is in your PATH environment variable before launching the installer ?

• Try to download installer again.
• Disable firewall. I had a simmilar problem today on Windwows XP with firewall ON.
• Ensure you are logged as Administrator in Winodws. We had some issues with that tooo.
