Javabeans bridge for ActiveX

I need to perform the following with Java 1.5 or java 6 but can't figure it out please help.

A. Prerequisites
Install JRE (Java Run Time Environment) International version between 1.2 and
1.3.1_08. JRE 1.3.1_08 can be downloaded from the Sun web site URL
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/1.3.1_08/index.html. If you already have a Java Development Kit installed on your machine and it is not a suitable version, download and install the above JRE.

Note: The DCIDCompression component will support JRE (Java Run Time Environment) versions between 1.2.x and 1.3.1_08 only. JRE versions below 1.2 and or above 1.3.1_08 are not supported. International version of JRE needs to be used (not the U.S. English version) and it is either denoted as International or the all languages version for Windows. JRE version 1.4.x has not been tested by DCID for DCIDCompression component.

B. Registration of DCIDCompression Bean

1.      Copy the JAR file, DCIDCompression.jar (shipped with this release) to a local folder.

2.      From the command line, go to the Java Runtime environment directory.
cd C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1_08 (ex: If you installed JRE in C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1_08)

3.      Enter the below commands in the command prompt.
java -cp  lib\rt.jar;lib\jaws.jar  sun.beans.ole.Packager

4.      Following screen will be displayed. Click on the Browse button and choose the DCIDCompression.jar file and click on Next.


5.      The following screen is displayed to pack the JavaBean. By default DCIDCompression will be selected. Click on Next without modifying the name.





6. Choose the name you want to assign to this component in the following screen.  By
    default DCIDCompression is assigned and is recommended. Click on Next.

Note: If you choose a different name, you have to modify the DCIDClient.vbp to refer bean control with the modified name.


7.      The following screen will be displayed, to specify the directory location where the .tlb and .reg files have to be created. By default, these files (DCIDCompression.tlb and DCIDCompression.reg) will be created in the JRE installed directory. If you want to save them in another location, enter the new directory path and click on Next.



8.      You will be prompted with the following screen to register this ActiveX control. The checkbox will be checked by default to register the Bean control in the System registry.

      Note: Make sure that the Check Box is checked before clicking Start generation 
                button.

Now, click on Start Generation Button.




9.      The following screen will be displayed with the message Packaging Succeeded.  This states that you have successfully registered the Java component and it is ready to use. You can view the .tlb and the .reg files generated, in the above selected location.


I get the following error
