Java won't install!

I downloaded the java installer and tryed to install it in Windows XP. It unpacks and installs some files then freezes with a message saying "Creating java JAR files". I had to abort the installation with windows task manager and then get an error saying Error-Remote Procedure Call Failed.
Is there some way to install this without errors or having it freeze? Thanks.

Yes, there is a way, because on my Windows XP computer it installs without any problems.
Try again and stop any running applications and your virus scanner (if you have one) before starting the installation.

Java won't install please help

I was trying to reinstall java due to a problem with an application.
I uninstalled the old one, removed the old directory, rebooted, downloaded the offline java package jre-6u3-windows-i586-p.exe
and it won't install. I get 2 errors back to back.
I have tried installing to a custom directory, with no special characters, tried registering the files listed on another thread and nothing works.
This is on windows xp sp2 with ie 6.
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.
lib\rt.jar: Old File not found. However, a file of the same name was found. No update done since file contents do not match.

I had the same problem today.
I got around the problem by:
1 - uninstalling java 1.5.03
2 - removing java 1.6 files
3 - downloading the same package
4 - installing in a custom directory (advanced options) (program_files/sunjava/...)

Java won't install. Problems with "zipper.exe"

I know there are lot of these posts concerning the installation problems of Java. But so far none has answered to the problem i am currently having. I am trying to install JRE 6.14 or something like that. Same thing happens in offline installation and online installation. I start to downlaod the thing and it goes fine. Then i run the file and it starts to install Java. This is where it gets stuck. On the part where it starts "extracting the installer", everything stops.
When i press ctrl + alt + del, it seems that there is this executable file named "zipper.exe" which is trying to do something. Takes 25% of my Quad core processor = 1 core. Also there are 4 to 6 of "msiexec.exe" running but taking 00 of my processor.
OS: Windows XP Home Edition with Servicepack 3
Firewall: Comodo Internet security
Processor: Not sure, Intel and Quadcore it is in my opinion.
Any help is apreciated.

*(Quoted from my post on gofractal's issue)*
I am glad that I'm not the only one with this issue. I also have XP sp3, and I am thinking that is what it is coming down to, the possibility that there is not a Java version that is actually compatible with XP sp3, although some people do get lucky.
I am going to try to change the registry to make Windows think it has sp2 again, and see if that doesn't help (The reason I say again, is because I actually have xp sp2, but I am not going to update to xp sp3 anytime soon, because after I did, a shaderapidx9.dll error came up with Valve/Steam's games that use the source engine, ie. half-life2, left4dead, counter-strike:source, etc., which ultimately ended up in me having to reformat).
If any of you would like to try this, then proceed at your own risk.
The method is:
Step 1: Run Regedit by Clicking on Start -> Run , type in regedit and press enter
Step 2: Make a backup of your registry (just in case)
Step 3: Browse to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ Windows"
Step 4: Modify the value of "CSDVersion" from "0x00000300" (SP3) to the Windows XP SP2 value of "0x00000200" (Double click where it says CSDVersion and in the Value Data box, enter 200, for XP sp2, or 300, for xp sp3)
Step 5: Close registry editor
Step 6: Reboot
Note: I did this trick for the recent games that require XP sp3, like GTA4 and Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. and haven't had any problems spur from this change as of yet.+

Java won't install in XP!

I downloaded the java installer and tryed to install it in Windows XP. It unpacks and installs some files then stops with a message saying "Creating java JAR files". If I click Cancel then it freezes.
I had to abort the installation with windows task manager and then get an error saying Error-Remote Procedure Call Failed.
Is there some way to install this without errors or having it freeze? Thanks.
BTW, it sure is cheap of Sun to provide software without any tech support!

Yeah right now blame it on SUN for not providing properly documented software. Tell me how good is the help in XP for an error like that?

Java JDK 7 u17 won't install and Eclipse won't run past boot logo.

Java JDK 7 u17 won't install and Eclipse won't run past boot logo. Eclipse Classic used to work fine for awhile. I haven't used it for a month or two and tried to boot it, Eclipse won't run past boot logo. It looks like JDK is not even there anymore. JDK won't install successfully. I have Mac OS X 10.8.3.
I tried removing Java, re-download JDK multiple times.. same results.

Paul Adare is correct in saying that you cannot "upgrade" from 32-bit to 64-bit. You can, however, backup your files and reload them onto your PC.
Given that you are able to boot Windows 7 after the failure to install Windows 10 Technical Preview, it is apparent that you are not formatting the drive during your clean installation. There are a number of potential issues an existing configuration can
cause, such as preventing Windows Setup from registering boot files, modifying partitions, or moving an existing installation and data to the windows.old folder. I would recommend removing the partitions from your drive (note: this will erase any data remaining
on the hard disk) during installation to ensure that Windows Setup has a fresh hard drive to install to. If you continue to experience errors, two other factors to take into consideration are:
Does your system use a storage controller that requires loading a driver during Windows Setup?
Is the hardware malfunctioning? Do the hard disk and memory pass testing software like Windows Memory Diagnostic or chkdsk?

Java SE Runtime Environment 7 1.7.0_51

To open "adobe" you need to install a Java SE 6 runtime. Won't install? Please advise.

hello, every time i start up my Mac mini i get a message saying To open "adobe" you need to install a Java SE 6 runtime.
But when i press install it says no connection available even though i am connected to a really reliable and fast connection.
Please help - Thank you!

That's not what your screenshot shows. It shows "java," not "adobe." Regardless, I very strongly suggest that you figure out what is trying to use Java before you install it.

Won't install java 1.8 says version already exists 14.9

I'm trying to create a database in Open Office which I was able to do fine this morning, but now after updating OO it is telling me "no java installation could be found". When I go to oracle to download the latest Java version the machine tells me I already have version 14.9 installed which as far as I can tell from google searching is not an actual version of Java since every link is in another language. I've gone through the forums to see how to delete the version of "java" that I do have off the machine. Opened the terminal and cut and pasted in the command from this post: When trying to install newest Java, computer says a newer one already exists? But it says I need a password to run the command. There is no solution on this thread. So I'd really love for someone to tell me what the heck give here. (I'm running 10.9.5 and trying to use OO 4.1.1. I've gone through the OO forums to no avail as well.)

How I was able to overcome the Java 14.9.0 problem
My iMac (late 2009) was yesterday updated to Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and today I updated Java through Apple Store, which resulted in Java 14.9.0 and it was unable to run.
After researching, I found the following path that was 100% successful to delete Java 14.9.0 and able to install Java 10.8.40.
On the System Preference for Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.5 go to section:
1. Personal -> Security Privacy -> Firewall -> turn it off
2. General-> Check "Allow application downloaded from anywhere".
(In case if Norton Firewall is on: check it Disabled)
On Finder -> Devices -> Macintosh HD and localize Java Applet Plugin.plugin and move it to trash:
Finder -> Devices -> Macintosh HD -> Library -> Internet Plug-Ins -> JavaAppletPlugin.plugin
Go to www.java.com and install Java version 8 update 40.
After following the steps, verify its installation.
Go back to System Preference and localize in the section Other "Java Control Panel". Click on its icon and go to Security and check "Enable Java content in the browser".
Check browser to activate Java Plug in: Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons ->Plugins -> Java Applet Plug-in - Java 8 Update 40
Check "Always Activate " or "Ask to Activate"
Hope these paths help you.

Java won't update - A newer version is already installed

Hello all,
I'm operating on a MacBook Air that i recently updated to OS X 10.9.2. Along with the update, Java 7 was installed. I need to have Java 6 Update 20 installed to use some programs on this computer for work. I've gotten the files to install that update, but when I attempt to do so I receive a message stating that I cannot install on my disk. A newer version is already installed.
I've gone into finder > Go to Folder and deleted the Java folder after uninstalling java in the first place. This has not fixed my issue. Please advise. I'm sorry if this is in the incorrect format. I wasn't able to post to the applications group.

Hi Christopherbronson,

Java 1.5 won't install on 10.4.11

I have 10.4.11 on a G5 Quad. In Apps->Utilities->Java I have 1.4.2. I have a new app that requires Java 1.5. I have DL'ed all the JavaforMacOSX10.4Releases -5 through 9. They all give me the same response - "Please run software update and install all previous Java updates before installing this upgrade" and Close (Quit Installer ) is the only option available. (Obviously, I have done this, Software Update reports no updates to install, no hidden things, nothing.) I have also repaired permissions...
How can I get this software into my computer?

Nevermind - I found it - it was a different installer - J2SE 5.0

24" iMac won't install any 'large' Apple software updates from the internet

I am having a serious issue with my iMac and neither the people on the phone at Apple Care or the 'Geniuses' at the Genius Bar have been able to assist. So, maybe someone here can:
First - here is the background information about what happened and what I've done:
A few weeks ago when the new iTunes 10 came out I went to upgrade. The upgrade failed it said. So, I thought perhaps Apple was having issues with the new software or something. So, I thought - Ok, I'll give it a day or two.
I come back and try again from Apple.com - no luck. Hmmmm - well, I just happened to see my 'software update' icon pop up and there was iTunes. I thought "Great! Now I'm sure it'll install!" No luck.
So, I think - well, perhaps I've done something to corrupt my profile. So, I create a new profile and try again. No dice.
So now I'm really confused and figure - ok, let me try a partition and I'll try again. Still nothing.
Finally I figure - ok, something is wrong here. So, since nothing is working I backup my music and important files and wipe out the hard drive and start over. No luck. And, in fact - since I had gone back to 10.5.4 or whatever - software updates needed to install to get me back to 10.5.5. Those wouldn't install through software updates OR when downloaded from Apple.com - Smaller downloads like, flash, java, firefox, etc - all download and install without issue.
I decided to engage "Apple Care" and they call me at the time I specified and we begin to do some tests on the hardware and everything came back ok. We tried from Apple.com and software updates again - still won't install the software. Keeps coming back with "Software installation failed" something about the package installer was corrupted during downloading.
The guy at Apple care thinks perhaps its my network corrupting something. This begins to make a little sense and I think, maybe he's right. My wireless router isn't that great so, maybe I'll just go replace it. However, while I'm checking out I begin to think that maybe its NOT my wireless router - because I do have 2 other computers in my house who haven't had issues downloading anything. So, this is unlikely. But, I didn't like the wireless router anyway - so I went ahead with the purchase.
I get it home - set it up and try again. STILL not working. So, I make an Appointment at the "Genius Bar". I take it in - show them the screen shots of the errors and we get started. They try to do the install of either iTunes or the combo update on THEIR network - still won't work. The genius thinks I have a bad HD and takes the computer for 2 days to look at it.
I finally get to go pick it up - excited that I'll have my iMac (which I use for work) back and functioning again. I go pick it up and they decided that it wasn't my hard drive - but likely my RAM. They couldn't prove it was the RAM but figured since I bought the RAM after I bought the iMac that this must be the issue (even though it was up to exact Apple standards and was from Crucial). So, I think - well, while I have a blank slate I'll go ahead and install Snow Leopard. So, I pick up Snow Leopard and get new RAM too and go home to install.
I get the computer home, put the new RAM in, install snow leopard and get ready to work! After snow leopard install is done - it has some new updates it needs to install. And the update FAILS to install again. Oh, and they never replaced the HD.
So, I call Apple Care again - they have no clue. They suggest making an Apple Genius Bar appointment. So, I take it in again. They run diagnostics on it from their 'Triage' external hard drive and everything checks out. He says its probably the hard drive (same conclusion they came to the first time) and said that they would replace it.
I get the computer back - take it home. Everything is up to date. All the software updates were back in place including iTunes 10. However, I still want to test and see if I can download iTunes and/or do updates. So, I uninstall iTunes and download it again. Same problem. STILL won't install any large software downloads. But, again - Smaller downloads like, flash, java, firefox, etc - all download and install without issue. Just no core Apple updates or things like iTunes will download and install on my iMac.
I then took it to a friends house - set it up on his network - same issue.
So to sum up:
I have re-imaged the hard drive several times
I have replaced the ram
I have replaced my networking hardware (even though other machines on the network have no issues)
I have taken it in twice to the Genius Bar and they still haven't fixed it
The Problem followed the machine and exhibited the same issues in store as it did in my home (so we know the problems stays with the machine)
I have tried it on yet a 3rd network and the issue still exists
The people at the Genius Bar told me that If I still have issues then its with my network - even though its been proven it wasn't.
Its only larger downloads like Combo Updates and iTunes that won't install.
Any ideas? Sorry for the long post but its been quite an ordeal.

Yes, I have tried the updates directly from the Apple website and a different issue occurs. When I do that I get various different errors - the most common saying 'Codec overrun'. This has happened both before and after complete software OS reinstalls (Completely wiping the HD clean).
I did a video of my issue on my iPhone. I had to cut it and compress it to get it off my phone without syncing (because I can't sync it since I can't get iTunes installed now). So, its about a minute long if anyone wants to see it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8leWwEoIeXI
And yes, we tried to repair permissions a couple times but didn't seem to have any effect on whether it would install these updates. Again, it's NOT all software downloads/installs. It seems to be limited to LARGER pieces of software. Example: Firefox, Flash, Java and Silverlight have all downloaded and installed without error on my iMac. Apple combo updates and iTunes won't install at all.

Hf901-00001 won't install at all on some instances.

Hi,
We have multiple servers with CF 9.0.1 installed, all with the multiple servers configuration and all with multiple instances.
Yesterday I started patching to hf901-00001 (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/890/cpsid_89094.html). It worked properly on 30 some instances over 4 servers but for a few instances on one server it just won't install.
The server in question has 7 instances + 1 main cfusion instance. The patching worked fine for 4 of them, but with the others it blew up the CF admin and I had to restore my CFIDE from a backup.
Right now I am trying to get cfusion up-to-date here's what I see.
Server Product: ColdFusion
Version: 9,0,1,274733
Edition: Enterprise
Serial Number ******
Operating System: Windows 2003 OS Version 5.2
Adobe Driver Version: 4.0 (Build 0005)
JVM Details Java Version: 1.6.0_17
Java Vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.
When I try to update with the hf901-00001.jar file, everything seems to work as it should. I get the "For the hotfix to get applied, you must restart the ColdFusion Service." so I restart Macromedia JRun CFusion Server and it starts up fine.
However when I go back to the CFAdmin I still see
Version 9,0,1,274733.
I don't see Update Level /C:/JRun4/servers/CF_Academic2a/cfusion.ear/cfusion.war/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib/updates/hf901 -00001.jar
So I assume that patch isn't going through. If I look in C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib\updates\ I can see the hf901-00001.jar files though. At this point if I proceed with the rest of the patching (Copying CFIDE, WEB-INF, etc) the CFAdmin starts throwing error --- class def not found on some critical CF parts.
As anyone else had issue with this patch or have any suggestion as what to try next? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Charlie,
Thanks for the reply, ok going to double check everything point by point. Going to use my main cfusion instance for my testing.
Before patching:
My CFIDE is mapped to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\CFIDE (from the mapping section)
C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib\updates has only one file empty.txt
ColdFusion version is 9,0,1,27473 from the CF administrator information section.
Version confirmed by dumping server.coldfusion.productversion (9,0,1,27473)
Patching process:
Using hf901-00001.jar from update (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/890/cpsid_89094.html#main_ColdFusion_9_0_1)
Successful, I get "For the hotfix to get applied, you must restart the ColdFusion Service"
Restarting "Macromedia JRun CFusion Server"
C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib\updates\ now has 2 files, empty.txt and hf901-00001.jar
Checking log for the restart in C:\JRun4\logs\cfusion-out.log, everything start up as it should but there's an error. No details though, see dump below.
Starting Macromedia JRun 4.0 (Build 108858), cfusion server

02/25 09:18:45 user FusionReactor: Initializing configuration
At this point if I continue with the manual steps and copy the file in CFIDE and WEB-INF it break the instance and I can't access it without restoring from a backup. (ClassDefNotFound errors). So the jar isn't being applied for some reason, the log is quiet as to why it's rejecting the file or think it's invalid. It's the same file used to patch the other instances. I suspected a corrupted jar and redownloaded it, same result for those 4 instances only after I patched another production server, our development, acceptance and lab servers the same way.
One thing that I noticed, the one that did patch correctly have chf9000001.jar in their /lib/updates directory which is hotfix1 for CF 9.0.0. I am under CF 9.0.1 so it shouldn't be required right? Not sure why it's missing from the cfusion instance.
I tried copying chf9000001.jar and restarted and it shows up as my update level in CFAdmin. I still get the invalid file error for hf901-00001.jar though.
I never installed Cumulative Hotfix 1 (CHF1) for ColdFusion 9.0.1 (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/862/cpsid_86263.html) as Adobe only recommend it if you experience one or more of the issue listed.
Other points I checked following your post:
1) neo-runtime.xml does have <var name='/CFIDE'><string>C:\inetpub\wwwroot\CFIDE</string></var> so as far as I can tell I am using the correct /CFIDE
2) You say "Or are you using the external web server (IIS or Apache)? If trying one, what happens if you try the other?"
I am using IIS default website to access it (it's currently bound to port 8080). How do I try the other? In JRun Launcher I see my Web port as 8300 for cfusion but if I go to http://localhost:8300/ I get a blank site (it just shows Index of /)
The only thing I have to go on is that the jar isn't loaded as per the log, but there is no error or anything so I am kind of at a lost as to what I can try next.

fromg googling it might have something to do with messed up fonts. I can get firefox to work as root though! 0_o.

Just an idea: Have you tried to use Firefox from Mozilla. I mean, download it and give it a try?
I have always done that, from my days in Slack, till this day and have to say that I NEVER have had a problem with Firefox, Java or plugins.
It may be a very biased opinion (since I have never had problems) but I think it may be worth to try.

HT5056 The update downloads but then won't install - Error

I have a Mac OSX 10.6 notebook; when I try to install the Java update - it downloads just fine but then just says there is an error and won't install. I have not had any problems before with updates.

Do you think I should pay to get help from Support to get this update installed?
Ummm...no. Download and install the updates manually: http://support.apple.com/downloads/

When downloading adobe flashplayer it won't install and tells me its because its "not a valid install package" 207

i can get through all the steps of downloading adobe flashplayer no probem but at the end won't install and say its because
"not a valid install package"
-207
== i uninstalled adobe & java hoping to reinstall so my videos & games on facebook would work properly

Try using the Adobe Flash installer from here: [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe]

Java won't install!
