    What operating system and version are you running? XP
    What Eclipse version and build id are you using? 3.0 200406251208
    – Was Eclipse freshly installed for MyEclipse? no
    – If not, was it upgraded to its current version using the update manager? no
    – Are any other external plugins installed? yes
    – How many plugins in the <eclipse>/plugins directory are like org.eclipse.pde.* 8
    What MyEclipse version are you using? 3.8 beta 2
    What JDK version are you using to run Eclipse? 1.4.2
    What JDK version are you using to launch your application server? 1.4.2
    What steps did you take that resulted in the issue? Opened HTML visual designer
    What application server are you using? Tomcat 5

    I’ve seen the notice about using the HTML designer the first time and it asking to do a Microsoft install. The notice says that you can cancel out of the install. Not in my experience. No matter how many times I cancel, the installation box pops back up. Only thing to do then is to exit Eclipse.

    Thanks much

    Don, have you clicked the “Learn More” button and read the support information. There is a way to make the installer stop coming up if you follow the steps outlined on that support page. On my local testing machine, it takes three times canceling before it stops trying to install. So something must be different about your MS installer program that is making it continue. The other option is to let the ms installer finish, but I am unsure of the impact on the designer.

    Thanks for the suggestion Greg. I went ahead and let the installation run, so I’m not able to try using the learn-more trick.

    Don,

    Here is the link for the MS support page related to the MyEclipse warning, just in case you install MyEclipse on a machine that has office2k again.

    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q304107

    Please let us know if you have any trouble on your current machine where the MS installer was allowed to finish installing.
