No, javaws-1_2_0_07-linux-i586-i.zip contains Java WebStart installation files, so install.sh is Java WS setup.
Java 2 Runtime Environment is now basically already installed, with all the needed files already extracted to a folder.
Then you should configure the system to use that version of Java.
This can be done by properly setting environment variables for the user running the application.
Example:
Create (or modify) file ~/.bash_profile contanining the following code:
export JAVA_HOME=folder/bin/java
export PATH=$PATH:folder/bin
Replace folder with the path where your J2RE 1.4.1 files are located, like ~/j2re1.4.1.
Check if it is properly working running command java -version.
