Install Problems with OpenCms 6.0

I'm still having problems installing OpenCms 6.0 onto WindowsXP. Why can't the group programming this software include a handy/easy self-install script (setup.exe) like common programs do today?

I feel that this software has good potential, but is ??? because not enough people resources are put towards it. It has the potential of Mozilla/Firefox, Apache, etc...

One shouldn't have to manually configure Environment Variables and use RegEdit to set up other varibles. Not everyone can and should be doing this.

Anyways, so far I have:

1. JAVA_HOME to C:\Java\js_2.4.1.07
2. CATALINA_HOME C:\Program Files\Apache\Tomcat 4.1\
3. CATALINA_OPTS d ....
4. Edited Windows Registry to add and modify two items
1. Item 1
2. Item 2

Tha's it for now. The problem is that Tomcat and OpenCMS need to be set to ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) character set, and this should be done when OpenCms is installed.

Maybe if I bug the developers enough.

Error in OpenCms Install

I tried installing OpenCms on WindowsXP tonight. I got the Tomcat program installed. Tomcat complained of an error, and therefore I think that OpenCms won't install properly.

It could be because I have two Java systems installed 1.4.2 and 1.4.6 I need to have just the one available.

I want to get this working. If only the OpenCms people had an install script for XP to make it easier.
