WebSphere 5.1 Network Deploy Manager Install hangs on Windows 2000 Prof (servive pack 4)

[ssatrasala]

At the end of the installation, after ‘un selecting’ Register Product check, box it suppose bring up first steps screen but it hangs and also next, cancel and exit buttons are disabled. When I looked at the logs this is what I found.

Found the following error in installAdminConsole.log and installFiletransfer.log.

The java class is not found: com/ibm/ws/bootstrap/WSLauncher

Found following two Exceptions in Log.txt file:
Exception 1:
