Installation Error with JRE 1.4 Author: benway May 14, 2002 7:36 AM   I get the following message when trying to reinstall JRE 1.4. I also get this message while trying to uninstall the non-working version of the JRE "An installation support file could not be installed. Catastrophic failure." Any ideas?
