Klaus, just want to correct one thing:

> On my box the line is
> "..... %$INSTALL_PATH/installinfo/Summary.htmt..uninstaller.jarp"
> with         0x00 0x0f -----------------------^^
>

Mine has the same, I've just copied ASCII symbols and 0f symbol(like a star) copied as '0' - haven't noticed that.

So I have the same as you do: 00 0F between "...htmt" and "uninstaller.jarp".


Continuing finding out where does the problem lie...
