Description:
The mysqlnetwork-0.5.19-windows-installer.exe crashes during file copy. It is not reproducible for sure, but it occured not only once (at ~ 1/4 - 1/3 of the installs I made today). 

Here the end of the last log file from the %TEMP% dir:

Log started 08/08/06 at 22:51:41
Preferred installation mode : win32
Mode win32 successfully initted

Unpacking C:\Programme\MySQL\Network\0.5\java\lib\tools.jar

(but the last file copied differs between the crashes).

The crashes occured when running the installation tests in a VMware image. I have never tried to install 0.5.19 outside of VMware.

How to repeat:
- install 0.5.19 on a clean system

since 0.6.22 I've never seen this problem although my way of testing didn't change.
