Cannot install Java update or uninstall old version (Java error 1714)

Hello,
When I try to install a Java upadate it fails. When doing the installation for the new version from java.com it gives the message (translated form Dutch):
+"The function you wish to use is located on a networked location which is not available. Click OK to try again or type in the field below another path to where installation package jre1.6.0_26-c-l.msi is located"+
When I cancel the installation it gives the following message:
+"Error 1714. The older version of Java(TM) 6 update 31 cannot be removed. Contact you technical support group."+
I tried the solution according to Java located at http://www.java.com/nl/download/help/error_1714.xml where it says to delete the java installation first and then install the offline package. The only problem is that I cannot seem to uninstall the current installation in my remove software list. The version there is called"Java(TM) 6 Update 29". When I want to uninstall this it gives the same message when installing the update:
+"The function you wish to use is located on a networked location which is not available. Click OK to try again or type in the field below another path to where installation package jre1.6.0_26-c-l.msi is located"+
I tried to get rid of the entire java installation by using:
- Scanned for blocking virusses, no virruses found
- JavaRa did not succeed in deleting current version
- Tried installing to offline package, no success
- Running all steps in administrator mode
None of it any succes. None of the Java using websites seem to work anymore and I can't seem to fix this. Anybody know of a solution?

Hey dude, i had this same problem and i think i've found a fix. Go to this link http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall and download the tool. It should run you through some steps. I followed the steps for having trouble uninstalling and then eventually it gives you the option to choose the application you are having problems with from a list.
Just choose the older java version and it will remove it for you. Check the windows program list and the Java entry should be properly uninstalled and you can then install the latest version of Java. Worked for me - hope it does for you :)Huh! Thanks, bookmarked that link. Very useful indeed!

Cannot install new adobe reader- says old version still installed

Hi there, looking for a little help please. An old version of adobe reader, 7.1 shows as installed on this computer so when I try and install a new version it gives me an error. When I try to uninstall it via the windows add/remove programs, it says that it can't uninstall. How can I get adobe reader 7.1 out of my system? If I need to edit the registry to get it out of there, what changes need to be made?
Thanks.

Thanks, I was having a similar problem, and this solution took care of it.
good work

I tried to update lightrooom 5 to version 5.5. but I cannot install the update as I always get the error that adobe_lightroom_x64.msi cannot be found. I have downloaded the installation file with other browsers buit it didn't help. I can't even deinstall

I'd appreciate any help.

Denge75 it sounds like there is an improper entry within your registry for Photoshop Lightroom. I would recommend uninstalling Lightroom 5.3. Once removed then please also use the Microsoft Fixit utility at Fix problems that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled to remove any renaming entries for Photoshop Lightroom.
You should then be able to download and install Lightroom 5.5 directly from Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows.

I have updated to the latest OIS on my IPad but cannot install the update for ITunes. I get error messages that I must log on as administrator (don't know how) and I can't use my ITunes now. Help please

I have updated to the lastest OS on my IPad3. No problem there. Then found I could no longer access my Itunes as there was a message 'Cannot be used as it requires version 10.6.3 or later. Go to ... and download'. I have tried four times and it won't work. I get another message saying I must sign in as administrator or contact my system administrator. I am the only one who uses this PC and have no idea what my administrator password is. Now I cannot use ITunes. Please help if you can. Thank you. Eileen Frost

Many thanks diesel. I cannot remember ever having an administrator password. Looks like I shall have to do a restore on my PC and not bother with the updates. Or maybe I could find my password from somewhere ? When I went into control panel I found a box with administrator and my name and it said password protected so I must have had one at some time. Any ideas on how I could find it ? Many thanks anyway. I always use a password to sign on but obviously that is not it. Eileen

Download helper downloads 0 bytes on my Firefox 3.6.12/Ubuntu 10.10. Also I cannot install Downloadhelper update. I get a -228 error but my cache is OK.

Download helper worked successfully under previous versions of Ubuntu and Firefox. I have tried to upgrade but I get an error message 228 (locked cache?). I have checked the cache but it is OK (50 mb). I can't update any extensions/add-ons.
When I try to download using Download Helper I get 0 bytes. I would try another download helper but Firefox won't let me install any extensions/add-ons.
BTW Download Helper works fine under my XP/Firefox installation (I run a dual boot computer).

'07 macbook pro with Lion. I cannot install Adobe Flash Player. Tried uninstalling old version - didn't help. I'm a novice and stuck. Help.

Cannot figure out why I can't install Flash Player update. Even tried uninstalling old version - as Adobe site seemed to suggest, but now have no Flash Player.
I'm not really computer savy but am frustrated since everywhere I go on web uses Flash Player. Any ideas, suggestion? Please help.

Feel sooo dumb. Found my error with confidence of your instruction and link. At 'quit' or 'install' box didn't realize need to check box so obviously didn't install. This time accidentally hovered over darkened 'install' button so instructions lit up - voila! Thanks for your help. I'm back in business.

HT1926 When Installing new version error is quicktime cannot uninstall old version

When trying to install new version of Quicktime, I get a error message that quicktime cannot uninstall old version. This also affects Itunes to work. Get Message Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. I think not having quicktime working affects my Itunes from launching.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATION" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up").
In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC. Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?

"You cannot install iWeb Update on this volume. A qualifying copy of iWeb was not found in /Applications" How do I fix this?

"You cannot install iWeb Update on this volume. A qualifying copy of iWeb was not found in /Applications." How do I fix this?

Version 2.0.4 is iWeb 08 and direct publishing via ftp is not available in iWeb 08 and never has been. You have the option of publishing to MobileMe, but you can publish via ftp, but you need to select the option publish to a local folder instead and then upload using Cyberduck, which is a free and dedicated ftp client.
If you want the inbuilt ftp function, then you will need to upgrade your iLife package to either iLife 09 which contains iWeb 09 or iLife 11, which also contains iWeb 09. For this, you need to purchase both of these packages. Either go to Amazon and try and get a copy of iLife 09 more cheaply or purchase iLife 11 directly from the Apple store.
This is what you will need to do and iWeb 08, which is the version you have, never has had built in ftp so that option will never be available to you unless you upgrade which you will have to pay for. Upgraded and updates are different things. Updates are just your normal run of the mill software updates and address bug fixes etc., whereas you will need to pay for full upgrades to other packages such as from iLife 08 to iLife 09 or 11.

Cannot install latest updates for Bridge and Photoshop CC. Get the following message: Update Failed. The download appears corrupted. U43M1D207.

Cannot install latest updates for Bridge and Photoshop CC. I get the following message: "Update Failed. The download appears corrupted. U43M1D207."
I have tried to install at different times over three different days with the same result each time. My version of Bridge now no longer shows DNG files except as an icon. The update is supposed to install Camera Raw version 9.

I had the 204 version of your error using the direct download links proved on this thread solved my problem.. hope you have same success... had to log off/in cloud manager before it showed all apps updated

Cannot install the updates for CS5.

Greetings. I re-installed CS5 when I changed the hard drive of my PC. Now I cannot install the updates although in my old setup, I had no problem and was able to update to CS5.5.
Should I download and install CS5.5 manually on top of CS5?
Or should I remove CS5?
Will my CS5 licence work for CS5.5?

Each time I turned on the computer I would get the message that several updates to Photoshop were available but could never download them or install them. Following your March 17th instructions did not do the trick. However after some trials and errors, I managed to get the updates to cs5 installed (unfortunately, I don't know how I managed!). I still cannot get cs5.5 but it's OK.
Someone from Adobe called me and suggested that I upgrade to cs6 at a special price but I declined the offer, thinking that at some point in the future, I may move to CC.
Thank you for your help, it lead me to a solution.
