Subject: 802 install fails JVM not found

Feedback Type: Problem

Product Area: Domino Server

Technical Area: Install

Platform: Windows 2003 server

Release: 8.0.2

Reproducible: Always

Hi
have spent last 2 days trying to install 802 on win2003r2 (for those who's first response is always to ask why - i'm trying to replace BES4.1 on domino 654 on win 2000 server with BES5 on domino 802 on win2003r2 as prelude to moving everything up to domino 853 servers )
however the domino 802 install fails. At first when I ran the setup.exe the installer would just disappear. On server reboot would get java had error and had to close. so tried opening the jar file rather than run the .exe. Gets about 2% into the file extract and copy than error with "JVM not found". Have tried turning off DEP, installing from C drive rather than D drive, and uninstalling and reinstalling every version of JRE from 1.3.0 to 1.4.2 to 1.5.10 and several versions of 1.6 but nothing seems to let me get past this problem. cant find any definitive answer despite hours wasted rummaging around support and extensive googling. Any ideas welcome, thanks & regards, K.
