OUI doesn't find JRE after WXP SP2 install

Question

Situation: Windows XP SP2. Oracle Database Standard Edition 10.1.0.3.
Plenty of free disk space. 512MiB RAM.
When I start Oracle Universal Installer from the start menu, it gives an error message saying the Java RunTime Environment cannot be found somewhere in the temp dir of the user (docs and settings\user\temp\orainstallxyz\jre). That user temp dir contains lots of similar orainstall directories (it seems one is created at each startup of OUI), but the one mentioned indeed has no JRE.
I tried to copy a JRE directory in the specific orainstallxyz directory, but that doesn't help since the next startup, a new one without JRE is created and used anyway.
I tried to empty the temp dir, but that doesn't change anything.
I can still start OUI from other places (the install directory) so it's not terribly inconvenient, but it's still quite strange behaviour.

Hi,
Like Cyber_Defend_Team said, sign in your Windows live account via web method to verify your account is valid.
Then make sure you logon your computer with a Microsoft Live account and not a Local account.  
To do this as the following steps:
1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap
Change PC settings.
(If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
2.Tap or click Users.
3.Tap or click Connect your Microsoft account.
4.Select the settings from your Microsoft account that you want to sync with your domain account, and then tap or click
Next.
5.Enter the email address you use as your Microsoft account, and then tap or click
Next.
If you don't already have a Microsoft account, tap or click Sign up for a new email address, and then follow the instructions.
6.Enter the password for your Microsoft account, and then tap or click
Next.
7.Add your security verification info, tap or click Next, and then tap or click
Finish.
