I'm fairly new to Java programming. I'm trying to
setup a Java SDK on my PIII Win-98 SE system.
After I download Java 2 SDK, SE v1.4.2 from
//java.sun.com and try to run the executable, I
get "This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down" message. I have
tried running the executable from both a C:
prompt and from a Window and get the same message.
Has anyone else had a similiar problem or do they
know what's wrong? Thanks.

Is the "executable" you're trying to run the installer? If so you may have not gotten a good or complete download. Download it again and give it another shot. I've run several versions of the JDK on this PC, which is very similar to yours.
