JDK Installation troubleshooting under Windows

When JDK 1.6 are installed under Windows,
It do not write the Path of Its compiler files
in Windows register.
And programmes like javac.exe cannot be
invoke in CMD window.
But some programme of JDK are copyed
in system32 Windows directory?!!!!
Interesting solution to invoke
java.exe and other :-)

And programmes like javac.exe cannot be
invoke in CMD window.Correct, that is by design. You must add the JDK executables to the path if you want to use the shortened command "javac".

  • All-in-one driver installation fails under Windows 7

    I am trying to install the all-in-one printer driver for Windows 7, 64-bit, Service Pack 1.  I have downloaded the installer from HP (AIO_CDB_Net_Full_Win_WW_130_141.exe), downloaded it using HP Print and Scan Doctor 4.3 and using the HP Printer Install Wizard (hppiw.exe).  All methods fail.  My computer is a new Dell Inspiron (Intel i5-4440 @ 3.1GHz, 8GB RAM, 64-bit OS).  The printer I am installing for is a HP 6310, which is old but which has worked well for years under Windows XP.  I don't think the printer is an issue since the installer never reaches the point of scanning for hardware.
    Symptoms:
    Installing using the downloaded installer, the initial splash screen displays.  Selecting "Install" displays a second screen with several progress indicators beginning with "Checking system...".  After checking for a few seconds, an error box pops up complaining that it can't find a file named "hpzpnp.ice_suffix..exe". 
    There are two files in the Setup directory named "hpzpnp01.exe" and "hpzpnp04.exe".  The Autorun file contains many references to an %ICE_SUFFIX% environment variable. 
    I guessed that the installer executables did not have enough privelege to set environment variables, so I went through the installer directories and set all the executables to run with administrator privelege. 
    After that, running "Setup.exe" from the top of the install tree, the initial splash appears, followed by the second "checking system..." progress display.  Then a new window with advice about keeping firewalls turned on, etc. pops up.  Continuing from that point pops up a new error box saying:
    "The specified path is too long C:\Program Files (sLar dig mer med hjalp av en demo pa skarmenHitta enkelt dina foton med onskad metod-Datum, Markning, Mappar, Sok, Favoriter)\HP\."
    I have done this multiple times, and the parenthesized phrase (Swedish?) is sometimes different, but always wrong.  It looks to me as though the installer is trying to decide whether to install 32- or 64-bit drivers, but can't decide which.  It fails to initialize a string variable and concatenates garbage onto the "C:\Program Files" path string.
    I have also seen an error box with the following error near this point:
    "C:\Users\Sid\AppData\Local\7zS4689\Setup\hpzrein01.exe" "-wStub" "3...
    "The parameter is incorrect."
    Clicking OK on the error box aborts the installation.
    Installing using the HP Printer Installation Wizard produces the same error message as the initial attempt with the downloaded installer about missing files with names containing "ice_suffix".
    Installing using the HP Print and Scan Doctor progresses as far as the "path is too long" message.
    I've done this now many times, trying different things, without success.  After each attempt, I run the Uninstall_L4 utility in utils\ccc under the installer tree, then run the OS Disk Cleanup utility.  Following an earlier post, I installed the latest version of Flash Player, with no change in symptoms.
    Any fresh ideas would be much appreciated.

    Hi ehildum,
    Thank you for the time and effort you put into your post. I can see you have done plenty of troubleshooting on your own, but I do have an idea.
    If the USB cable is plugged in this could be causing issue. Assuming it is connected, let's unplug and take a look at the Device manager. The hpzpnp.ice_suffix indicates a plug and play 'pnp'.
    Follow these steps and let me know what happens.
    Click on Start
    Right click on Computer
    Select Manage
    On the left panel, click on Device Manager
    Click on View at the top and select Show hidden devices
    Look in the list for Other devices
    If you see the printer here, right click and select uninstall
    Look in the list and click on the arrow next to Printers
    If you see the printer here, right click and select uninstall
    Delete all files in the %temp% folder
    Restart the computer
    Open the installer from your download  (AIO_CDB_Net_Full_Win_WW_130_141.exe)
    Do Not plug the USB cable in until the software says so.
    Please let me know the outcome of these efforts. If your USB cable was not connected please complete the above steps anyway to see if there is something stuck in the Device manager that could be causing the conflict.
    I look forward to hearing from you.

  • Installation problem under windows XP

    My PC runs under Windows XP. I want to install LabVIEW. The installer begins to copy files and displays the message "L'application n'a pa réussi à s'initialiser correctement (0xc0000142). Cliquez sur OK pour arrêter l'application). " (I've the french version). If I click on OK, the message appears again, ant the task is very difficult to kill. despite this message, the installation continues to run but never ends. After a moment, there was no more activity. The only thing I had to do was to reboot the PC.
    The anti virus was desactivated. I tryed again with the administrator profile but with no more succes.
    Could someboty give me some explanation?
    Thanks.

    Try copying the CD to your hard drive and installing from there. I have never received this exact error but have seen other installations repaired by this procedure. It's worth a try.

  • There is no  "installation runtime" under Windows- Preferences in Eclipse

    Hi everyone, iam using Eclipse 3.1. Iam using an Application server(JBOSS). In order to add an application server, we will be adding it under Windows->Preferences->Server. But i dont have the option for "server" in my eclipse. Please give me the solution, if any one knows.

    I thought Servers was part of the WTP( Web Tools Project)? Do you have this installed - it comes integrated with the latter versions of Eclipse...

    Hi. Was almost htrough with installing all my applications under Windoes7, even my soundcard was responsding to MIDI..., and Windows 7 even got me the newest audio driver for the card.
    BUT then I noticed i could not record any sound. I was prompted to reinstall the software.
    When the installation process reched the point of installing the driver (of course, on the CD-ROM that one was older!), the whole system was frozen and I could only shut down. After that, Windows7 would not start anymore. No chance, no restoring an earlier point of installation (they were all gone).
    Well, I made it all new, but now the device manager keeps telling me there is no Audio Device, but additionally a PCI problem.
    When I tried to install the Soundblaster-software, the program quit "no Soundblaster Audigy 2 card in thie computer".
    When I swichted back to Windows XP, I found the soundcard properly working.
    So please can someone date me up?
    Please. Thanx.

    I cannot make Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 work under Windows 2008. The server's host name is SARABI. Anything of the following takes place on SARABI, no remote access is involved.
    The procedure has been as follows...
    - Windows 2008 was installed
    - Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 was installed
    - listener.ora, sqlnet.ora, tnsnames.ora were modified
    - no other Oracle configuration file was touched
    At this point it worked. I could connect with SQL Plus and with SQL Developer.
    Next the server was rebooted. Without having changed anything at all, connecting was impossible. The message is "12514, TNS, listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor". The three configuration files are given below.
    Currently, all services are running accoording to Windows Control Panel. There are no entries in the eventlog. Executing "TNSPING SARABI" works fine. Executing "LSNRCTL status" shows "The listener does not support any services" (translated from German "Der Listener unterstützt keine Services"), the full output is given below.

  • JDK installs JRE in 'default' folder (only)

    The JDK (j2sdk-1_4_2_04-windows-i586-p.exe) installs both the JRE and the JDK.
    However, there is an issue if you intend to install the JDK in a folder other than the default, which is: 'c:\program files'. In that case, the JDK installs correctly, but the JRE will still install in 'program files' regardless. This creates potential conflicts with some programs, and the 'Java Home' variable in the registry will be incorrectly reflected as within 'program files'.
    If you need to install the JDK in a directory other than the default, you can work around this issue by first dowloading and installing the JRE by itself. Select 'custom' install and indicate the name of the folder where you want the JRE installed. Then download and install the JDK.
    If you have already installed the JDK and there is already a 'java' folder under 'c:\program files', first uninstall the JRE using Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs, and then download and reinstall the JRE by itself. Select 'custom' install and indicate the name of the folder where you want the JRE installed.
    When the installation is complete, check that there is no 'java' folder under 'c:\program files'.

    You seem to under a misunderstanding of the install process defaults.
    However, there is an issue if you intend to install
    the JDK in a folder other than the default, which is:
    'c:\program files'. The default directory for the SDK (Software Development Kit, used to create Java programs) is C:\j2sdk1.4.2_04
    In that case, the JDK installs
    correctly, but the JRE will still install in 'program
    files' regardless.The default for the JRE (A public version of the runtime, used to run Java programs outside of the development environment) is C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_04
    This creates potential conflicts
    with some programs,Not unless one of thes "some programs" has been created in a non-standard manner that I'm not aware of.
    and the 'Java Home' variable in
    the registry will be incorrectly reflected as within
    'program files'.This is done so that Java programs can find the public JRE that they need to run.
    If you need to install the JDK in a directory other
    than the default, you can work around this issue by
    first dowloading and installing the JRE by itself.
    Select 'custom' install and indicate the name of the
    folder where you want the JRE installed. Then
    download and install the JDK.
    If you have already installed the JDK and there is
    already a 'java' folder under 'c:\program files',
    first uninstall the JRE using Control Panel's
    Add/Remove Programs, and then download and reinstall
    the JRE by itself. Select 'custom' install and
    indicate the name of the folder where you want the JRE
    installed.
    When the installation is complete, check that there is
    no 'java' folder under 'c:\program files'.The following is quoted from the Installation Instructions for this version:
    "Private vs. public J2RE - Installing the Java 2 SDK installs a private Java 2 Runtime Environment and
    optionally a public copy. The private J2RE is required to run the tools included with the Java 2 SDK. It has
    no registry settings and is contained entirely in a jre directory (typically at C:\Program Files\j2sdk1.4.2\jre)
    whose location is known only to the SDK. On the other hand, the public J2RE can be used by other Java
    applications, is contained outside the SDK (typically at C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2), is registered with
    the Windows registry (at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft), can be removed using
    Add/Remove Programs, might or might not be registered with browsers, and might or might not have
    java.exe copied to the Windows system directory (making it the default system Java platform or not)."

  • The ADF Mobile preview pane doesn't work under Windows 8.

    The ADF Mobile preview pane doesn't work under Windows 8 64bit even I use Jdeveloper version 11.1.2.4.0,but I use windows 7 64bit or windows xp works fine.
    How to fix it, please.
    Thanks !

    Hi,
    I installed JDeveloper 11.1.2.4 on my Windows 8 machine and then the ADF Mobile extension. I can open the previewer for ADF Mobile. So there is no problem with this on Windows 8. I used the generic installation, which is that I installed the JDK and then run the Java -jar command for the JDeveloper install.

  • Premiere Elements 8 under Windows 7: HOW TO DO?

    My system is a MICROSTAR (MEDION) Quadcore 6600(think it's made by MSI) with 4GB memory, 2 x 1TB HD Wetern Digital GREEN (replacing the very poor quality Seagates 2 x 500Gig originaly installed) and running Windows 7 64 and 32 Ultimate. The 32 version was installed especially for PE8
    Why I didn't stay with PE7?
    Strange enough, PE7 worked perfectly under Windows 7 64bit RC and RTM, but with the Official release of Windows 7 32 or 64 Ultimate, it was finished with the Happy Hour, Crash, crash, crash all the time!
    So I downloaded from Adobe a official PE8 and started very happily with it.
    But it was CRASH & GO all the way !!!
    I have send a few messages to Adobe Contact, which deviated me to this forum so I could spit my poison far from their "Ivory Tower" No answers or help from them. PE8 is paid, so go to ...
    I found out immediately that I was one of the many people to regret this "Buy of the Year", but since PE7 didn't work and Windows 7 is so good that I don't want to go back to XP or Vista, I had to find a way to make this SH.. work. Luckily the Forum proposed me a few solutions for which I am very grateful.
    After a few editing's with DV (about 3hours long), I am having a little bit more experience with this PE8-pre-beta-thing.
    First of all I disabled the GPU-thing in the preferences, then I disabled the "Background rendering".
    The  Medion computer has a "diet" Nvidia Geforce 8600 so there are no 3D drivers to disable, neither has Windows 7 this Windows Defender, so that could also not be the problem.
    Anyhow, these few minor changes seem to have solved a lot of crash problems.
    Also, NEVER open a PE7 project in PE8 !!!!! It's really not 100% compatible: no way to render previews and crashes guarantied!
    Be very careful in applying transitions and video effects, especially if you start cumulating them. Maybe they will work in preview, but you never know if you will be able to render a film or DVD from it.
    For example "camera view" + "Soft edge" ( since I have a Dutch version, I don't know if these are the right names) to make a kind of 3D frame around your image. No problem in PE7, but PE8 doesn't digest it! The only way to render this to a film is to import the project in to PrProCS4 and change the other transitions which are not supported by PrPro with similar ones. Or going from New York to Chicago over Mexico City!!
    If you take care of these precautions you can work very satisfactory with PE8, without crashing more then was the case with PE7 (low memory problems)
    This PE8 should have been written for 64 bit, so it would have suffered much less memory problems, then now.
    Some things I like better with PE8, like the ClipArt's, the Menu's and the new Smartmovie themes, which I create and then edit manually.
    Automatic backup creates now 5 instead of one file.
    What I don't like:
    If you capture in scenes, it's still scene 11 coming after scene 109 etc, instead of counting from 001.
    With PE7, you could see in which map the project you wanted to open was situated, here not.
    Place of the Project changed, without reason, change for the fun of change?
    Making "markers" has become more complicated, without improving. Also changed just for the fun of it?
    Can still not capture HDV by scenes, for that I have to use Sony Vegas.
    Until now I didn't try to edit HDV in PE8, because I don't trust PE8.
    What we really need is for Adobe to bring a major update to fix al these annoying misfits and to make a customer's dialog instead of a one way street policy.
    If I find new ways to make work easier and without crashing I will not hesitate to let you know.
    Until then, hope this can help you a little bit!
    Roald

    NO, YOU CANNOT !!!!
    If your project was started in PE7  and you import that project to PE8, you cannot, I REPEAT, you CANNOT render this files to a preview.
    You wil get the render window, but no counter or anything else will move or happen.
    Nothing, rien , nada, niets, nichts!!!!!!
    At least not here on neither of the 3 installations which I did under 3 different Windows 7 !!!!

  • Firefox 6 running under Windows 7 64-bit does not render fonts correctly.

    The default sans-serif font for Firefox is Arial. Running Firefox 6 under Windows 7 32-bit, the font renders properly, but under 64-bit Win7, the font is too heavy, and bold or strong makes no difference. I run Win7 64-bit on a laptop computer and use Firefox 5 on it, and the fonts render properly. Possibly a Firefox 6/64-bit problem?

    Hi strangerland, don't give up hope -- I'm using Firefox 36.0.4 on Windows 7 right now.
    That said, I understand troubleshooting fatigue and when you find time to think about Firefox again, and have the opportunity to shut down and restart Windows, you might try testing in Windows Safe Mode with Networking, a mode that blocks some external programs that can interfere with Firefox.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended freezes on startup under Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit - No splash screen

    I installed my licensed copy of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended today as part of my install a bunch of software after a reinstall of Windows (due to viruses).  I did a completely fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.  I've used Photoshop CS3 Extended for quite a while now so I know what to expect on startup but it was previously installed under Windows XP Professional (32-bit). Figured I would give Windows 7 a chance this time around.
    Google searches aren't turning up anything.  When I attempt to start the application, I get a window with the title "Adobe Photoshop CS3" (no "Extended" - I seem to recall the title changes later) and the toolbar appears.  However, no splash screen appears and no Product Activation wizard appears - the application simply freezes on an empty frame and a toolbar.  I've tried running Photoshop as Administrator (right-click, "Run As Administrator"), but nothing changed there.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling.  I tried upgrading to CS3 10.0.1.  Nothing works.  The application simply freezes before it gets anywhere.
    I tried calling Adobe Support since this technically falls under installation issues but their phone support systems are down today.  Go figure.
    Edit:  I hooked into Photoshop with the Visual Studio debugger and every single thread is executing some variation of WaitForSingleObject() or WaitForMultipleObjects().  The main thread is "executing" somewhere in AdobeLM_libFNP.dll (at address 09619d81 - if I had debugging symbols for CS3, I could provide a function).  There are nine threads "running" at the point the freeze occurs - but all of them are technically suspended due to the functions they are executing - and one thread is in a suspended state.

    And, according to the Event Viewer, the "Binary" data translates to a zero-terminated Unicode string of "Cross-thread".
    My Visual Studio analysis was far more informative.  All threads are hung inside of WaitForSingleObject() and WaitForMultipleObjects() calls and the DLL in question appears to be FlexNet-related.  I did forget to mention that I also even manually started the FlexNet service in case, for some strange reason, Photoshop was waiting for it to start.  That also did not work.
    (And there is nothing in the Action Center control panel either despite the message saying there might be more information there.)
    Edit:  The timestamp above might be a little odd-looking.  I didn't originally see anything in Event Viewer until I clicked the first button to send an Error Report.  Mostly I just skipped that part of killing a process.

    Hi printen,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    If you are having an issue with connecting the printer to the computer over a wireless connection with the HP software, I suggest you disable any firewalls or anti virus protection before doing the installation.
