Two thoughts. 1) you downloaded the JRE. 2) Sun packaged the JRE in the
JDK installer. The fact that you listed the executable as
JDK-1_5_0_04-windows-i586-p.exe leads me to believe that you downloaded
the JDK and not the JRE. So the remaining possibility is that the build 4
of 1.5.0 is messed up. I'd try downloading the installer again and see if
the new installer is a different size (i.e. they fixed the mistake). If
not, send a message to someone at Sun letting them know of the problem.
