[izpack-users] 3.9.0: java.lang.NullPointerException at Installer.main(Installer.java:62)

Hi, Klaus.

You know, I've just tested the same jar-file on a colleague's computer, it has the same jdk and jre as mine has: 
1.5.0_09. It works well there. But I have this exception. Can't understand why. Maybe you remember any cases when a 
process interferes with installation process? Just assuming... the same OS, the same java environment and such different 
results...

Well, anyway, I'm trying to find it out, if any good news appear - I get you know.

Thanks again for your help.

>>Good afternoon, Klaus.

>>The first thing I thought when I saw the exception - that jar-file is

>>The most amazing thing is that version 3.8.1 install works without any

>>I'll write here if I find a solution.

>>Thank you very much for your time, Klaus.
