Yeah, I'll be on dial up.  We can definitely try to walk through the
process, though I just spent another 45 minutes to no avail.

Yes, and I've uninstalled and reinstalled it multiple times.

Yup.  And this combination is sucky, since all three installers operate
in different ways.  The ImageIO one is especially bad, since you can
only put it on one jdk.  If you try to run it again it assumes you want
to uninstall, and doesn't even exit the pop up asking you if you want
to uninstall.

>  ( in that order (so the RC gets to patch the JRE and JAI)
Yeah, one thing is that I'm downloading the jdk versions.  Which put it
in jdk.../jre/bin and /jre/lib/ext.  But I then set that as the runtime
with regedit.  Downloading all the jre versions right now isn't
possible.  But it also shouldn't be necessary, if I'm a developer I
want uDig running off my jdk jre.

I'm using the same one I had for uDig-0.2.  Looking more closely it
looks like it's M1 instead of M2.  Would that be the problem?

Yeah, that would be a nice thing - I've been using my installer script
to confirm which jre it is using.

I wasn't able to pass arguments.  If I included it inside the double
quotes I got an error, if outside then nothing happens when I click on
it (which is the same behavior I get from the command line).

Tried this, didn't work.
