[izpack-users] 3.9.0: java.lang.NullPointerException atInstaller.main(Installer.java:62)

[Bartz, Klaus]

Hi Yurii,
test also with 1.4.x.
On my box the line is
"..... %$INSTALL_PATH/installinfo/Summary.htmt..uninstaller.jarp"
with         0x00 0x0f -----------------------^^

But the diff can be a different viewing in different view programs.
Yes, I have no idea in the moment.
If you find the reason, let us know.

Cheers

Klaus

>> Hi Yurii,

>> But the exception you have got should not be. I have tested with
>> VM 1.4.2_06, 1.5.0_06 and 1.6.0_beta. No exceptions.
>> May be your IzPack-install-3.9.0.jar is corrupt. To verify open it
>> with an unzipper like WinZip and look into "info" (with WinZip e.g.
>> you can choose after selection via context menu the editor to be
>> used). The last entry in "info" is "uninstaller.jarp".
>> If you cannot open the jar file or not open "info" or the last
>> entry isn't there, your copy of the jar file will be corrupt.
>> Else I do not know in the moment...
