I have not come across this error before but it sounds as though a previous installation of the Java runtime is getting muddled up with the new. The message seems to relate to a C++ class rather than a Java class so it occurs during loading of the JRE and not your application.
I suggest you uninstall SDK 1.4 and reinstall it again. Make sure you install it in a separate directory from any previous versions of the SDK that you have. Also ensure that you have the path to the bin directory for the SDK defined in your PATH, and that you remove any paths to other versions of the SDK that you have installed.
