    It's message is result of incorrect FI installation. Fisetup couldn't set
up self as browser plugin.
    Find latest fisetup at IBM's site. Unpack in temp catalog. Other than
java's temp catalog of course.
    Another way of java's installation. Without Netscape.
    1) Got latest fisetup and install it with
        fisetup /nn
    2) Unpack java's archive with subdirs
    3) Now you see a lot of catalogues with NLS setups. Copy all files from
catalogue with needed language to java's distributive root.
    4) Find very "fat" file named java***.rsp. Where *** is java's version.
118
in your case. In this file you must replace all "\..\" (without quites) with
""
(without quotes) using any text editor with "search and replace" feature. File
Commander's one is good.
    5) Enter in command line
        clifi /a:b /r:java118.rsp
    And got "present" :) on desktop.
    Using this object you can install java's componets without Netscape.
Semi-manually :)
    This method is very useful for installation any product which contains
.RSP
files. IBM TCP/IP 4.1 with all features onto Warp 3 without LAN Server for
example.
    If you want deinstall products installed using this method you must do
next
steps:
    1) Open Connections->Drives->Your bootdrive->OS2->Install->Installed
Features.
    2) You can see one or more "presents".

Bye!
