The fix was to create a %HOME% variable pointing to c:\Users\cremes. For
some reason, the install4j installer picked up \vmware-host\Shared
Folders as the user.home (according to the installation.log). By adding
that environment variable, it must have short-circuited whatever logic
is used by the installer for determining the home directory. That logic
apparently has a flaw.
I would like to open a JIRA on this but I don’t have instructions for an
easily reproducible case. Any suggestions?

Just do due diligence to describe it as best you can. Perhaps we will
think of a nice reproduction later, but it doesn’t hurt to report what
you have.
