Yes, the problem should be caused by having 1.6.0 already installed. I ran 
into a similar problem recently. This is a JAva, not a JPackage issue. Java 
versions can coexist on the same machine but must be installed in order. 
You can install 1.6.x on a machine running 1.5.x but you cannot install 
1.5.x on a machine with 1.6.x. The only workaround I found is to uninstall 
1.6.x and resintall both.
