Could not install JBuilder

Tried to install JBuilder, Foundation version, on a Windows 2003 Server. Installation crashed with the following message:
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -95

What am I doing wrong? Is it even installable on Windows 2003 Server? If so, what should I pay attention to?

Thanks in advance.

Update. The following advice worked: run the installer in Windows XP compatible mode (see inside). Thanks!

They don't list Windows 2003 Server as a recommended platform. The list of versions is:
2000 SP4, XP, NT (SP6a)
(see http://www.borland.com/jbuilder/pdf/jbx_sysreqs.pdf )

I saw that, but I thought I would try it anyway. I am wondering, basically, if anyone has been able to install it under Windows 2003 Server.

Sorry, I just don't have this one (2003 Server), so I cannot try it.

Либо поставтье JBuilder 2005, оно (теоретически) умеет на 2003 и вообще симпатичное.

Спасибо. Совет запустить инсталлятор в режиме XP оказался работающим.
