msxml 1.8 questions

[Chris Lovett]

Ah, I think I found the problem.  Two things seem to be going wrong:

1) The new xmldso.cab file is not installing into the classes.zip file at
all.
2) It looks like jview doesn't use the ClassPath registry setting that
install.exe is setting up, but instead jview seems to be using only the
DevClassPath that will not be defined if you have not installed Visual J++.

So, I have some fixing to do, but in the meantime, the following workaround
should get you going:

a) launch "regedit"
b) open up the the following hierarchy:
	+ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
		+ SOFTWARE
			+ Microsoft
c) select "Java VM"
d) if there is no DevClassPath string defined then select "Edit/New/String
value" and type in the name "DevClassPath" then double click the ClassPath
variable and copy it's contents to the new DevClassPath variable.
e) Close regedit.

Now jview should work correctly.  I will fix the installer to do this for
you and figure out why the new classes are not going into classes.zip.
