Unable to Install Java

[Guest]

I am unable to install Sun's Java.
I know there's a whole fight between MS and Sun, but still, I'd like to install it.

I have tried what they have suggested in their FAQs, and I will enclude my letter to them which has information that maybe useful to helping me problem solve this.

Their Response is that it is a "Windows Configuration Problem." And then they say nothing more!!!!!!!!!

I don't have a clue as to what they mean by that, and if it is a Windows Configuration problem what things should I do to try to change that configuration?


This is what I wrote to them:

Completed all of the instructions in that article.
Uninstalled all versions of Java from Control Panel Add/Remove programs.
Deleted all folders with Java or Sun from C:\, C:\documents and Settings\User, and from C:\Program files.
Renamed Java folder from C:\Windows and moved it to a different drive.
Ran Utility to remove all junk files, invalid registry items, and cleaned out all temp folders.
In Windows Computer Management, services, I disabled cyrptographic services and all services related to
Norton/Symantec. As well as doing this in MSCONFIG.
Rebooted and checked to make sure that all services that I disabled were still disabled.
Cleaned out all my temp folders again.
Attempted to install J3re1.2.4.05 downloaded for manually as instructed.

Same Error occured again. What can you suggest to me to try next.

Thank You for your help

You may already have MJVM installed,go to internet options,advanced,
scroll down to java,uncheck the boxes.To see if you have it,go to run,
type:cmd In cmd type:jview

 

[Guest]

Reformat what? The hard drive? Are you serious?

 

[Guest]

Is MJVM Microsoft? I did what you said, typed jview, a dos type box flashed across the screen, but disappeared and nothing happened. If I have Microsoft Virtual Machine, do I then not need Sun Java?

 

[Guest]

Any Other Suggestions?

At first my download of 'Sun' failed. I had to delete any remnants of 'Sun,'
then clear the temp internet files, after that it installed fine.

 

[Guest]

Ed, did you delet the Java folder from the Windows folder as well?

 

[Ed H]

No, Just used control panel to remove the program.
