(It’s now asking me to restart my machine, of course.) Now, I’ve just tried installing the Java 1.4.2 Update on my own computer here at home as an experiment, which was already updated to Mac OS X 10.3.3 - and the installer for the Java 1.4.2 Update ran just fine without complaining.

I ended up having to reinstall Mac OS X 10.3 (through an “Archive and Install” process) on top of Mac OS 10.3.3, and then apply the Mac OS X 10.3.2 Combined Update instead.

Eventually I will probably have to take the time to explore the possibility of installing the same system on several machines from a disk image on our Xserve - but this is still too new to me, and there are a number of issues that I have to explore first.
