Does it want me to edit the registry in some way? Or delete the
existing directory? Or do something else?

Maybe try:

SET J2NOVERIFYREGISTRY=1 (or =T or =TRUE)

in config.sys

Oh, that's GOOD. Very easy, and it worked. Is there a downside for
ignoring the Registry?

I don't have the faintest idea. The only thing I did is have a look at
J2WIN.DLL with a text editor and finding that string. From the name I
deduced that the registry would somehow be ignored.

The funny thing is: here, I also don't have anything Java related in the
registry (neither in the OS/2 registry nor in the "Windows mimicked"
registry) and I also do not have that setting in config.sys and still I
don't get the error message that you get.

Lars

What I have is an empty folder. I have these folder (among others):

HKEY_USERS
SOFTWARE
J2WIN

No, I don't have that.

All the folders in the entire HKEY_USERS hierarchy contain nothing but
(DEFAULT) (Value not set). Do you have that J2WIN folder? If not,
perhaps that is the key; I wonder if in its absence I would need the
line in CONFIG.SYS.

You rather mean: in its presence it needs the line in config.sys in
order to be ignored.

What I said is correct. What you said is also correct. The difference
is the doughnut vs the hole.

The bottom line is that there was no problem with Java (as the error
message implied), or even any corruption of the Registry, but only a
quirk, for which there were at least two easy workarounds.
