good evening:

we have purchased a beautiful box set of QNX SDP 6.4.1 and would like to install it on Linux as well as on Widnows. it 
contains the DVD that holds the installers for all supported platforms.

the Windows installer works very well and installs QNX SDP correctly on Windows 7.

however, when i copied the Linux installer on to Ubuntu, i get an odd Java error. pls see detailed error log below.
[...]
Running InstallShield Wizard...
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: run
[...]

any ideas why we use Java for installation and then get all these ridiculous errors?
8-) it is illogical.

usually, on Unix / Linux, you only need a simple program that extracts individual files from a compressed package and 
that copies these files into the appropriate location. why use Java for something like that? even a simple shell script 
will set any required environment variables.

the same error occurs on Ubuntu (java 1.5) and on SUSE Linux (java 1.6).

good night,

Aaron
