I am installing Java SDK 1.4.2_04 from my Unattended CD. but it gives me a strange error "Java Update fails to apply changes to your system"

Can someone please help me?

i am installing it with these switches

ECHO.ECHO Installing Sun Java SDK 1.4.2ECHO Please wait...start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\SunJava\j2sdk-1_4_2_04-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=ALL IEXPLORER=1"

please view the attached screenshot

Possibly wrong switches? The SDK is different from the runtimes

Java Update fails to apply changes to your system. Error 1722

Installation Notes

Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition

Version 1.4.2

Microsoft Windows

Choosing an installation path containing characters that are not part of the system code page - On Windows 2000, XP, and 2003, it is possible to name directories using characters that are not part of the system locale's code page. If such a directory is part of the installation path, then error 1722 occurs, and installation is not completed.

To prevent this problem, make sure that the user and system locales are identical, and that the installation path only contains characters that are part of the system locale's code page. User and system locales can be set in the Regional Options or Regional Settings control panel.

if anyone ever has this problem in the future - install Java SDK before the Antivirus and Firewall
