help: deciphering netBeans install.log

[javac]

in linux (Fedora 1) I downloaded the JDK and it installed itself
nicely at: /home/net/jdk1.5.0/

then i downloaded the netbeans .jar file, and, at the shell prompt,
tried "/home/net/jdk1.5.0/bin/java -jar
/home/net/netbeans-3_6-setup.jar" which seemed to work fine.

however, here's the result:

(Jul 4, 2004 1:50:45 AM), Setup.product.install,
com.installshield.product.service.product.PureJavaProductServiceImpl$Installer,
err, ProductException: (error code = 601; message="JVM not found")
STACK_TRACE: 8
ProductException: (error code = 601; message="JVM not found")

at com.installshield.wizard.service.AsynchronousOperation.run(AsynchronousOperation.java:40)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595)

why didn't this work, please?

thanks,

javac at mail dot com

Im using windows XP & using j2sdk1.5.0 beta. The problem is similar to
ja...@mail.com . What i did was downloaded netbeans-3_6-setup.jar and
issued
java -jar netbeans-3_6-setup.jar. Its system independent. When in the
procedure on installing netbeans, i pressed "Browse" to see what
happens, it turns out that following exception is thrown which are
swing and awts . But i dont know why this is happening..

Now another problem is that when installing netbeans3.6 at final stage
comes to play, message pops up.

NetBeans IDE 3.6 installed with the following warnings:
Unable to update the Remove item in the Add/Remove folder.

In the hope that atleast netbeans was installed properly rather than
"not" being able to Remove it, i find only install.log with the
following dumps:

I have not much idea wtf is going on. I don't see any point in this
exception because i have already mentioned the location for java,
javac etc...I am still looking around for answer in newsgroup... I
hope that someone has had similar experience && has time to explain
what the hecks' going on.
Cheers,
