ok, the Gold star award goes to Cris!
I checked the Registry locations and sure enough there were some
pointing to jdk 1.4.2 which didn't exist (well the directory on the
filesystem was still there, so maybe it didn't uninstall properly).
Anyway so I clobbered the 1.4.2 refs and got the same error,
re-installed 1.5 and it works (with new reg entries). Who would've
thought the registry would ever get muddled up ;)
Thanks all for your help for such a silly little problem!
Regards,
Steve

Interesting, there's a JavaHome in the registry. I learn something new every day
I guess Steve should check his registry :-)
