Problems Installing J2SE SDK on Win XP Home

Hi, I'm having serious trouble trying to install the Java 2 SDK onto my
PC.
I have tried installing 2 different versions;
j2sdk-1_4_2_03-windows-i586-p, and
j2sdk-1_4_2_04-windows-i586-p.
Both are the offline installation versions which I burned to separate
CD-ROMs in the last 4 months or so. Whenever I try to install either version,
I get the following error message during the "copying of files" stage of the
installation process:
"Error 1335. The cabinet file 'Data1.cab' required for this installation is
corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error
reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package."
Also, during one of my failed installation attempts, I received the following
error message instead of the one above:
"Error 1772. 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."
I have only received the Error 1772 on one occasion, every other attempt to
install one of the packages has resulted in an Error 1335.
The system I am trying to install it on is an Athlon 2600 with 256mb of RAM,
running Win XP Home Edition with Service Pack One.
The strange thing is, is it that it is only this PC which the problem occurs
on. I have successfully installed the 1_4_2_03 version of the
SDK onto my (rather antiquated) laptop, which has an AMD K6 400MHz, 96mb of
RAM, and running Windows 98. Also, I have just successfully installed the
1_4_2_04 version onto another different PC, which has an AMD K6 450MHz,
96mb of RAM and running Windows ME. Both of these versions were installed off
the very same CDs that are causing me all the problems mentioned above with my
PC running XP, so it suggests that there is no problem of corruption of the
installation files.
I have only managed to find information about this problem on a couple of
other sites, and I have tried every one of the suggestions that people in
a similar predicament have tried. These failed attempts include:
- Performing a 'clean boot' before installing the SDK.
- Swapping the slots that the PC's memory modules are in.
- Format of hard drive and complete re-installation of Windows.
I really am at a complete loss as to how to get Java up and running on my PC,
so if anyone out there knows how to fix the problem, please, please let me
know.
Thanks,
Steve.

I can't offer resolution of the problem, but a couple of alternatives come to mind.
Obviously, this one computer has something in it that is causing the problem. It's probably an interaction involving Windows and the hardware. Windows SP2 may be a solution; install it when available, and try again.
The SDK installation in C:\j2sdk1.4.2_0x does not involve any Registry entries - they're for the public JRE installed in Program Files. You can copy the j2sdk1.4.2_0x directory from another machine, avoiding the install; you just won't have the public JRE. Copy java.exe and javaw.exe to System32 to allow naked java/javaw commands to work.

  • Problem Installing an application with wine(SOLVED)

    I made a directory and installed cinema 4D and for the most part it goes fine,when it's finished installing the app it comes up and i can use it,but when i exit and try to bring the app back up with       wine CINEMA 4D.exe   i get a message saying    wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\CINEMA.exe".Also when i'm installing C4D at the directory selection menu,there's a directory /home/cube/.wine/drive.C/Programs where i'm assuming  that's where the app is supposed to be installed,so i checked it with   ls -as  and the Dir wasn't there so i created it,but when i'm back at the directory selection menu in C4D the Dir isn't there because the .wine Dir is hidden and i'm not sure how to unhide it or if that will even fix the    wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\CINEMA.exe"    problem and execute the file.
    Any help with this will be very appreciated .Thx

    call wine as any other application that require a filename as argument. From your home directory:
    wine '.wine/drive_c/Program Files/.../CINEMA 4D.exe'
    (the quote are necessary because of the space in the filename).
    You can also specify a Windows path:
    wine 'C:\Program Files\..\CINEMA 4D.exe'

  • Problem installing android-sdk from AUR using yaourt

    Hi all,
    I use yaourt to install packages from the AUR but I'm having an issue with android-sdk.
    Whenever I run 'yaourt -S android-sdk' it seems to detect that the 'java-runtime' is not installed.
    However, I do have sun's jre and jdk installed (I was having applet issues with openjdk) and it detects this when it actually starts installing it.
    But it just reinstalls the package and quits without installing the android sdk. If I run yaourt again, the same thing happens.
    Does anyone have an idea of what the problem might be?
    I could download the tar.gz from google but I'd rather keep everything handled by arch package management.

    Is that a show stopper for yaourt?  I use aurbuild and did that install the other night.  It tripped over the java runtime and pitched a warning, but the build worked and it installed. 
    I could download the tar.gz from google but I'd rather keep everything handled by arch package management.
    Even if you hand build the AUR in a directory of your choice, the resultant package is still integrated into your Arch system using the -U option of pacman.  Regadrless of the front end (Yaourt, aurbuild, or roll-your-own), pacman tracks the package as 'Foreign'.  FYI.

    From your subject line, you say you are using a G5. This is the last gen of Power PC processors, not intel. The SDK requires an Intel processor.

  • Satellite A660/07U - Problem installing nVidia driver for Win 7 64bit

    A660/07U Windows 7 64bit
    To begin with, I need to install this driver as apparently it will solve an issue with the current driver that causes the computer to freeze when booting with an external monitor as the primary display.
    I have downloaded the driver install file from the Toshiba web site and it is extracting ok but then when I run the program it just exits immediately without actually installing the drivers.
    Device manager in windows doesn't seem to help either, because when I point it to the extracted folders it tells me I already have up-to-date drivers, even though my current driver version is a lower number than the downloaded one.
    Rebooting has made no difference.
    Any ideas/suggestions?
    Thanks in advance

    Yes, that is exactly where I got it from and I have tried re-downloading the file but still have had no luck.
    I was, however, able to get the driver directly from NVIDIA and it worked fine and has also resolved the issue with the external monitor bootup.
    It is still strange that the file provided by Toshiba did not work.

  • Problem installing J2SE - Error 1324

    For some reason the same error keeps apearing every time i try to run the installation, followed by "The path My Pictures contains an invalid character".
    I even tried moving the program to a different drive that's empty. After that didn't work i just deleted the file "My Pictures" from my computer and still it doesn't work.
    Besides, I can't seem to understand what My Pictures has anything to do with it.
    I'll be extremely grateful to whoever can help me.

    I can only suggest that you search the net again - maybe you need to look at the InstallShield site for their information.

    I having problem installing the EM in win server 2008 64bits. I already installed java run time but when i click on the setup.exe in the disk 1 after unzip it does not show the installation wizard and any error message. Did i miss out something? do i need to create the user group and user as stated in the installation guide as stated in this link Installing Enterprise Manager System - 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1)?

    Hi, can you open an SR for this issue and share the number. Lets check few basic things:
    a) can you make sure that all the zips are downloaded from OTN have correct byte and checksum information
    b) Can you make sure that you unzipped all these zips files in a single folder ?
    c) After unzipping can you check if you have following folders created ( not these folder are for linux but they will be same on windows) -
    install      libskgxn      plugins     response     stage     WT.zip
    jdk     oms     runInstaller      wls
    d) Can you invoke setup.exe -debug
    then look at the logs from -
    C:\Users\aime\AppData\LocalTemp\2\OraInstall2013-07-09_04-10-59AM   ( for windows it will be orInstaller.err and log )
    You donot need any user group or any thing created.
