Problem installing JMF 2.1.1e

[rudolphg]

I'm attempting to install the JMF in order to do vision projects such
as those discussed in chapter 10 of the book.
My problem is that the JMF 2.1.1e installer crashes on my WinXP Sp2 machine without installing anything:
"The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction."

I'm using JDK 1.6.0_02. Do I need an earlier version of the JDK to use the JMF?

That's unfortunate. I would reboot and give it another try. Could be a freak thing. If it still happens, maybe you do need an earlier version of the JDK, perhaps 1.5.

I rebooted the mnachine, and the install proceeded without problems.
I still don't have a working camera, but at least the JMF is installed!
