Cannot install JRE 6 on Solaris 10

Hello,
I would appreciate any help with the installation of JRE 6 on 32-bit x86
Solaris 10, which is actually a virtual OS under VMware ESX 3.5. "uname -a":
SunOS <hostname> 5.10 Generic_120012-14 i86pc i386 i86pc
First, I patched the OS with all required patches. Then I have downloaded
jre-6u4-solaris-i586.sh from sun.com, made it executable and ran,
but checksumming failed: "The download file appears to be corrupted...".
I tried to download by browser and by SDM, so I am sure the download is
correct. OK, I renamed /usr/bin/sum to skip checksumming, and now I get:
"Segmentation Fault - core dumped. Failed to extract the files.
Please refer to the Troubleshooting section of the Installation
Instructions on the download page for more information."
The install.sfx file created by the installer is
ELF 32-bit LSB executable 80386 Version 1, dynamically linked, stripped
Is there any way to proceed with this? Is there a way to install Java 6
by the package manager? Am I doing anything wrong?
Where is that "Troubleshooting section"? Do not expect much
help from it, but cannot find it anyway.
Thanks,
Alex

Resolved: I downloaded via Firefox running on Solaris (not Windows, and then WinSCP to Solaris, as I did before), the checksums are correct and everything installs fine.

WinNT4.0: Cannot install JRE 5.0 Update 7

I have a clean install of WinNT4.0 with SP6, IE6+SP1 and all Windows Updates. Nevertheless I�m not able to install JRE. During the install process I get a "there is a Windows Installer problem. A specific DLL cannot be executed" (roughly translated from german). Why is that happening on a clean installation? Right now I cannot even unstall. I�m stuck :(

Many people (including me) posted this "INSTALLATION PROBLEM" (Windows Installer going crash when attemting to install JRE 5.0 Win for AMD64).
It seems DEP (Data Execution Prevent or Protection...) service causing "forced" quitting of Windows Installer, but whatever you either exclude Windows Installer application from DEP list or even turn-of DEP service it won't help in any case.....Windows Installer 'll encounter problems anyway..and crash when attemting install.
Sun says (in a "post note") that support for AMD64 'll be available since the release 2 of JRE 5.0 but for what Operative System??
On Windows XP PRO 64bit Ed. (or was only for Windows 2003 Server 64bit Ed.?) the support for AMD64 CPU has been introduced only in this latest release 4, and IT DOESN'T INSTALL AT ALL (at least for some users..)!
Most strange thing is that although there are several complaints concerning this matter since many time, NOBODY seems to have been able to fix to this common complaint. Is it possible nobody at Sun applied on this problem? Are they still working on it? Did they fix it? If anybody knows anything about this matter, please take me informed! Thanx.

Cannot install JRE 1.6u7

Hello,
I recently formatted my hard drive and after reinstalling Windows XP SP2, I am having problems installing JRE on my system.
These are two different types:
1. When I double-click the offline installation file [version 6 update 7, newly downloaded], nothing happens. The process shows up in the task manager for a few seconds, and then disappears completely. No further procedure takes place.
2. I observed that doing the above mentioned step leaves the installation MSI file at the location "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Sun\Java\jre1.6.0_07\jre1.6.0_07.msi". If I double-click on this particular file, the installation starts without problem, but gives an error at the end.
The error is: "bin\java-rmi.exe: Old File not found. However, a file of the same name was found. No update done since file contents do not match."
After that, the installation gets canceled and it then it gives another error message - this one about the MSI package - Error 1722 to be precise.
"Error 1722.There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
Then it does the revert back procedure, which actually doesn't revert anything. All files created remain on the hard drive.
The log file at "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp\MSI30af4.LOG" mentions the following:
"Error 1722.There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action patchjre, location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Java\Update\Base Images\jre1.6.0.b105\patch-jre1.6.0_07.b06\patchjre.exe, command: -s "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_07\"
=== Logging stopped: 7/15/2008 23:07:43 ==="
I went to java.com and tried the various solutions mentioned there, but none of them seem to work. I even tried to install an older version of JRE, but with the same result.
I sincerely hope you can help me troubleshoot the problem.
Thanks in advance,
Levi Smith.

The first time I tried to install, it was on a freshly formatted hard drive and a freshly installed OS. So there was no such directory present. After that, however, I tried the installation after removing all the previously created files, cleaning the registry, etc. So again that directory was not present by my reckoning.
Oh, and I also tried to install in a different folder - C:\Java or D:\Java, etc. but with same result.
Do you need any more details to solve this mystery?

Cannot install JRE version 1.3.1_08

I am running Windows XP Home.
When I install j2re-1_3_1_08-windows-i586-i.exe by double clicking on it, everything seems to go OK, the installer says that installation was successfull.
But when I check objects via Tools ... Temporary Internet files ... Objects, the column STATUS contains the word Skadad (swedish) = Damaged.
When I installed version 1.4.2_04, then the installation was OK. But I HAVE TO use version 1.3.1_08 because the application cannot use version 1.4.2
Please HELP!

Thanks for your message. I tried 1.3.1_13 but result is the same.

Solaris 10 x86 5.10 cannot install Oracle 10g (needs 5.9 or less!)

I installed the latest Solaris 10 x86 rev 5.10 and then downloaded the "New" Oracle 10g for Solaris x86 oddly but not suprisingly the "New" Oracle 10g only installs on Solaris 10 x86 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9 GO FIGURE.
Seem there should be a way to fake out the software to see a different version.
Anybody know how to do this?
thanks
Phil

And another workaround that seems to work can be found here:
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/fintanr/20040803
To quote from that page:
Oracle 10g install on Solaris 10 workaround
Quick work around for installing Oracle 10g on Solaris 10 (in our case on a v20z).
After creating your staging area you run the Oracle installer and get an error similar to the following
$ ./runInstaller
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
Checking installer requirements...
Checking operating system version: must be 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 or 5.9.    Actual 5.10
                                      Failed <<<<
To work around this you need to edit the oraparam.ini file, in our case this is /export/ora/Disk1/install/oraparam.ini.
Edit the section
[Certified Versions]
#You can customise error message shown for failure through CERTIFIED_VERSION_FAI
LURE_MESSAGE
Solaris=5.6,5.7,5.8,5.9
to be
[Certified Versions]

And thats it, just run through your install as normal.

Check also if the t-bit is set:
[root@vtl1g121 ~]# ls -dl /tmp
drwxrwxrwt 11 root root 4096 Apr 10 11:44 /tmp
This is needed to mark the filesystem/directory as temporary.
Sometimes this can cause such problems also
Command: chmod +t /tmp

Cannot install JMF under Linux Mandrake 10

I simply cannot install JMF under the Mandrake 10 Official Linux distribution. I downloaded the jmf-2_1_1e-linux-i586.bin file and tried to execute it as root. It unzipped some files then showed me an error message about AWT and GTK+. I found a hack consisting of modifying the .bin file to have the PATH variable point to SUN JDK, the error does not show up, but the installation still does not work. In fact, the installation works, but the Diagnostics applet keeps telling me than class files are not present. My Mozilla 1.6 Java plugin is working and displaying the applet. My JMF lib directory does not contain sound.jar, such jmf.jar. I set the CLASSPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH according to the readme.html file. I would like to know if it is a compatibility problem with Mandrake 10, the 2.6 kernel or if JMF just DO NO work under Linux. In the latter case, JMF is a violation to the Java portability philosophy and I would never use it on my own initiative, just if I were asked to.
After the files are unzipped, I have the following warning and error messages.
Warning:
Name: HorScrollBar
Class: XmScrollBar
The specified scrollbar value is greater than the maximum
scrollbar value minus the scrollbar slider size.
JavaSound Capture Supported = true

java.lang.Error: Can't open video card 7
java.lang.Error: Can't open video card 8
java.lang.Error: Can't open video card 9
Done.
Even if I do not have a working video capture card (I have an ATI All-in-Wonder 128 but it is not working under 2.6 kernel), JMF should work because some people do not have a video capture card. I also tried with the cross-platform ZIP file, but this one does not contain sound.jar either and the Diagnostics applet keeps complaining about missing class files. I tried to search on the Web for solutions to this problem or for a way to change the CLASSPATH used by the Mozilla Java plug-in (if it uses a different CLASSPATH than the one from the environment variable), but nothing, nothing. Is there a distribution from which JMF would work better than Mandrake 10? Or can JMF work only under Microsoft Windows or Sun Solaris? I also tried Blackdown, but a README file directed me to the Sun's page, nothing to download here about JMF.

well, your not the only one.
I have it working in Debian, and JDS.(JMF is setup automatically in JDS).(2.6.6 kernel)
I looked at the installation structure of JDS, and was able to duplicate what they did for Debian.
Maybe it will work for Mandrake two??
ok, all you have to do is copy or create soft links from your Mozilla directory, just like you did with the java plugin, and link to all the *.so files in JMF-2.1.1e/lib directory.
Should work.
I also read that not haveing the native files only matters if you are doing Capture. not play.
to get your ATI All-in-Wonder 128 to work, make sure you install the correct driver, and have it working under linux, then try it in JMSTUDIO

Want a code to check & install JRE automaticallly without user intervention

hi
I am trying to run an applet on a machine that is not having JRE on it.
want a code that will check for such condition and install JRE automatically.
If JRE is already present then it should check for required version and enable it also.
please help in this regard.
thanks in advance
Santosh.

The ability to detect the jre at the update level, as well as the ability to install a specific version are only present if the DT plugins are installed.
These plugins only exist for windows and are only part of the 6u10 (1.6.0_10) versions of java.
The javascript you show uses an undefined minimumVersion variable.
also note, you cannot use the wildcard '1.5.0*' in the call to isWebStartInstalled (which takes minimumVersion arg)
if fixed, this code would still not work as you want, since clients with 1.6.0 or later would sail straight thru and launch.
I suggest replacing isWebStartInstalled() with deployJava.versionCheck('1.5.0*') .
then on systems with the plugin installed, if no 1.5.0* version is installed, the latest 1.5.0_XX will be installed before launching the app.
(assuming the app has also <j2se version=1.5/> or equiv.)
on systems w/o plugins installed, the latest version of java will be installed, and it will be up to javaws auto download to get 1.5.0* version.
this could still have problems, especially on platforms not supporting the plugins (non-windows) , since code keeps checking for '1.5.0*', and installing only latest, so you would want to wrap install with something to prevent repeated attempts to install:
if (deployJava.versionCheck('1.6.0+') && !deployJava.isPluginInstalled()) {
---- don't do any install here - ---

Installing JDS 3 on Solaris 10 SPARC previously running CDE

Does anyone have experience of installing JDS3 on SPARC architectures? Most of the posts seem to relate to x86. I'm having trouble installing JDS3 from the Solaris 6/06 distribution.
I have a jumpstart config which starts with a SUNWCrnet and adds the minimum to provide a CDE with XDM log in. We thought we'd try JDS3 so I've expanded the profile to include all packages in the Sol10 6/06 distribution which are marked as belonging to the GNOME2 or JDS3 categories.
This gives the option for selecting JDS from the login session menu. The desktop comes up ok but then we get error messages:
'Failed to execute child process "xscreensaver" '
Attempting to start any application from any menu results in the following message:
'Cannot launch entry
Details: Text was empty (or contained only white space)'
I can't even open a terminal.
It looks like a major piece of configuration data is missing but I'm not sure where to start looking.
Any help for an old SPARC head gratefully received.

Xscreensaver needs to have both /usr/openwin/bin and /usr/X11/bin in the user's $PATH. Add the line:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/X11/bin
in your .profile and that should do it for you.

Hi Sugunakar,
There are a few small things I can think of checking:
I am trying to install SMC on solaris 10What version of Solaris 10 are you using? You need 11/06 (aka "Update 3") or later. Also, it looks like this is on a V210: how much memory and swap do you have ([requirements here|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2215/deployment-72?l=en&a=view])? And have you [edited your /etc/project file|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2216/chapter2-1000?l=en&a=view] to adjust the shared memory settings?
Have you applied any of the [patch sets|http://forums.halcyoninc.com/showthread.php?t=104]?
smcdatabase service is always in maintenance mode.It would be interesting to see what that service log says. Look in /var/svc/log/application-management-sunmcdatabase:default.log for clues.
/var/opt/SUNWsymon/install/guibased-setup.1285765588453.sh: /var/opt/SUNWsymon/db/data/SunMC/pg_hba.conf: cannot createIs there any reason why SunMC may not be able to write to /var (or /var/opt/SUNWsymon)? Maybe portions of /var are read-only (shared from a global zone, or over NFS)?

Trying to install JRE 7u7

Hello,
I'm trying to install JRE 7u7 x64 and am having a few problems.
I can run the installer and its fine until it begins to install. Then an error message appears saying:
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable."
It is referring to "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk 1.7.0_02\\", which doesn't exist on my computer.
It then comes up with Error 1714:
"The older version of Java 7 Update 7 cannot be removed."
The installer then quits.
Because of this I cannot run any .jar files at the moment.
Is there any way I can fix this and install a working JRE?
I've successfully installed the JDK 7u7 x64 and u2 previously.
I had JRE which worked OK before this but it suddenly stopped. I'm afraid I'm not sure whether it was 7u2 or version 6.
Thanks for any help.
