[jsword-devel] Launcher Bug

[DM Smith]

I have a workable solution, but I'd like to hear how the nightly  
Windows installer works on various Windows OSes.

I have tested it on WinXP. Does anyone have Win2000, Win98, or Win95  
that they can try it on and report on any problems?

In doing this I upgraded the installer to get Java 6, if it cannot  
find java on the local machine. I'm not sure whether these work on  
Win98/95.

Many thanks in advance,
	DM
