correctomundo. i've just added the extra little step in my installation documentation to put it in /bin and /system32 - but i register it in the latter locale only. i sure wish they'd make up their mind. in related hesaid/shesaid news, i was told that updating JRE was supported and just fine to do, however, any of the BES installations or SP updates or HF patches always report post-install that it could not detect a supported Java Runtime Environment - go figure.
