there should be a readme along with the serialcomm zip.
i.e. here are the installation notes for win32:
javacomm20-win32/commapi/PlatformSpecific.html

with some java JDK installations you get two different runtimes. you can 
install it in both using the note metioned above.

(some older java versions install by default on e.g. c:\jdk1.3\, only the 
latest and the java runtime go into the programm folder)
