That should hold'er

I learned this week that sitting down and planing the week out is all well and good.  However no amount of planning will do any good when unexpected situations arrive. No alarm will help get a person where they need to be if they are not in the position to hear the alarm.

Two things to help with this.  The first is having the grace to understand that some times things just don’t go as planned, and that some times things need to slide for a little bit.  The second is having the self discipline to not shrug off things just because the scheduled time is past. Just because something is a little late, doesn’t make it okay to let it be very late.

EXPLANATION:
I was working on a windows vista machine for a client this week and came across an odd problem with windows setup and the Java runtime installer (Version:1.17) not cooperating.

The trouble started when my client tried to set up Yahoo SiteBuilder on his Acer laptop. Following the instructions he downloaded the SiteBuider installer and ran it. A message box appeared telling him that he needed the Java Runtime Environment installed before the SiteBuilder installer could continue. He then went to http://java.com/en/download/ to get the JRE. After a short download process he ran the JRE installer and followed the prompts to accept the license then on to the… error message? After several attempts to install using both the online and the offline versions of the installer with no success. I was called in to solve the problem.

I arrived on the scene (he brought the laptop to me) and explained the problem. Sure enough, during my test, the same error popped up. I looked into the Java site for help and the only suggestion I could find was to use the offline Installer. I had already done that and the error continued to occur. This error states that the network address %APPS???% cannot be located (or something to that effect) so I surmised that the installer was still trying to access network resources. I then disconnected from the network and tried again. This time the install proceeded normally and the JRE was installed successfully. After a reboot we installed SiteBuilder.
