J2SE v1.4.2 and NetBeans bundle installation freezes at 8% completion.

When installing the Java 2 v1.4.2 and NetBeans bundle on WinME, the
installation program freezes at 8%, just after opening and closing an
MSDOS window for COMMAND.COM.

The window switches from decompressing files to "Preparing J2SDK 1.4.2
components for installation. Please wait...", then it just stops.

Tried four times now. Waited about 1/2 hour each time for it to do
something. Searched DejaNews (Google) for anything in the Java groups
related to this, and found one previous post in this group about the
same problem on WinXP. The answer there was that it was probably a
bad zip file.

Although the byte count on the file I downloaded matched the file size
at Sun's site exactly, I thought perhaps it could still be a bad
download, so I re-downloaded. Same problem.

Can't think but that the registry is getting all messed up!

Anyone have any solution to this problem.

Thank you very much,
