jdk version problems

Description
Hello,
I found problems installing the unofficial 2.1.0 with java configuration. If the user is running jdk 1.6.0_12 (currently the latest version), when the installation ends tomcat service will not start.
From tomcat log:
[2009-03-27 23:53:56] [174 javajni.c] [error] the specified module could not be found. [2009-03-27 23:53:56] [986 prunsrv.c] [error] Failed creating java [2009-03-27 23:53:56] [1260 prunsrv.c] [error] ServiceStart returned 1
It seems there is a problem with msvcr71.dll, I found two workarounds:
1) copy msvcr71.dll into tomcat bin directory. 2) Downgrade to jdk 1.5.0_xx
I suppose that the correct way is to include this assembly into the installer.
Thanks.

Replying to jbirch:
I don't really relish bundling another version of the c++ redistributable with the installer, and I'm pretty sure that we can't just distribute the single file. I think that we may need to require Java 1.5 at this point, same as we're requiring "ancient" versions of PHP / Apache.
alucas, could you please give this temporary, unpublished version of the installer a try?
MapGuideOpenSource-2.1.0-Unofficial-b.exe
I compiled it against the latest 1.5 JDK, and it appears to work OK on my PC after manually installing the Tomcat service. I've added another ticket (#953) for modifying the installer to install the Tomcat service.
Could anyone try to install the previous installer with jdk 6 update 12? After uninstall all my jdk's and jre's try to install a clean jdk 1.6 u12 and seems that the installer works. I'm not sure if it could be my jdk's installation.

I think this has to do with the jdk version used to build the Java API. Ideally a 1.5 JDK should be used since that should produce bytecode that is forward-compatible to 1.6

The version currently posted
http://download.osgeo.org/mapguide/testing/
as MapGuideOpenSource-2.1.0-Unofficial-c.exe was built with the 1.5 JDK.
There have been a lot of changes though, and i haven't tested against Tomcat recently.

Hi Jason,
The last installer works fine even with jdk 1.5 and 1.6. In anycase, it would be nice to include as a requeriment jdk 1.5 in the installer doc.
Maybe, we can close now the ticket.

Closing. I think we'll have to add a windows build/install nodes page to capture requirements and what we could be doing better with the installer next time around.
