redbull,
We need to do what we can to enable the installation of the new Java.
Be sure to follow these instructions exactly.
-------------------------------------------------------------Now, run the
Windows Installation Cleanup Utility, this will remove the registry entries for the Software.
Microsoft has officially retired this product. It evidently has some risk of failure.It does not work properly for MS Office 2007 products, but we are only using it for Java.
You can download the Utility from the given link below. Use Firefox for this, so you can find the file, named
msicuu2.exehttp://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer ... d4459.htmlClick "Download at Major Geeks"
Double click it and let it install itself where it wishes. Accept the license, and click OK. Click Finish. It should report that it has been installed.
Go to
Start, All Programs and click
Windows Install Cleanup. It will likely be that last program on the list
The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility provides a dialog box where you can select one or more programs that were installed by Windows Installer.
You select the programs from the list in the Windows Installer CleanUp dialog box.
After you make this selection, the utility removes only the Windows Installer configuration information that is related to those programs.
In your case, select those items with
Java, JRE, or J2SE in the name. You can select multiple items at once using the Control Key and a click.
Make SURE that Java, JRE and J2SE items are the ONLY ones selected, and click RemoveRemoves the files and registry settings that make up the Windows Installer configuration information for programs that you select.
This may now enable the selected programs to Install or Uninstall properly.
----------------------------------------------------------- REBOOT (RESTART) Your Machine------------------------------------------------------------Download and Install the latest version of Java Runtime Environment from here :
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp, and install it to your computer.
In the first section on the page, labeled
JDK 6 Update 24 (JDK or JRE), click on the button labeled
Download JRE. Do NOT choose the button labeled "Download JDK".
Select the Platform
Windows and check the box to agree to the license.
Choose the
Windows Offline installation version and click on the link.
Download it, choose Save, and save it to your desktop.
Then doubleclick it on your desktop, (or right click and choose "Run as administrator") and it will install the newest version of Java for you to use.
During the Installation, be sure to
UNCHECK any offer for
McAfee Security Scan Plus. It's just adware.
When it finishes, you can remove the Installer from your desktop.
