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.
