Thanks for any help

Answer 1

Perhaps its a permissions issue.

Answer 2

Seems to be a missing certificate or an invalid format. Did you already generate a certificate with keytool?

Answer 3

I was able to reproduce the error by mangling the trusted.certs file at

C:\Documents and Settings\CDay\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\security.

Deleting the file fixed the problem.

Answer 5

Deleting the trusted.certs and reloading resolved this problem. Thanks a lot!!!
