Enterprise Workbench Installer 3.8.1 for Mac OS X is failing.
The error message I’m getting is:

Path not supplied to properties file
LAX: Could not find main class.
The class com.zerog.ia.installer.Main must be public and
have a public static void main(String[]) method.

I have $JAVA_HOME set correctly and I’m using jdk 1.4.2_05.
Any ideas?

– System Setup ——————————-
Operating System and version:
Eclipse version: 3.1M1
Eclipse build id:
Fresh Eclipse install (y/n): y
If not, was it upgraded to its current version using the update manager?
Other installed external plugins:
Number of plugins in the <eclipse>/plugins directory that begin with org.eclipse.pde.*:
MyEclipse version: 3.8.1
Eclipse JDK version: 1.4.2_05
Application Server JDK version:
Are there any exceptions in the Eclipse log file?

– Message Body ——————————-

The installer does have a mind of its own sometimes that makes it a very time consuming task to trouble shoot, this is why we provide the Manual Install download, you may want to download that and follow the very detailed (with screenshots) step-by-step install instructions included within it.

I’ll give the manual install a whirl.

I saw this same error while trying to install JBuilder X. DOes anyone out there know what causes this?

Path not supplied to properties file
LAX: Could not find main class.
The class com.zerog.ia.installer.Main must be public and
have a public static void main(String[]) method.

It sounds like the installer is trying to run itself with an invalid JRE, it actually does this annoying thing where it finds ALL possible JREs in the paths and then orders them and attempts to run itself. You can for it to use another vm with LAX_VM=/path/to/java, or see what its doing with LAX_DEBUG=1 env variables.

Here’s a URL with the same issue for an install anywhere installer on Debian, if it helps:
