Problems installing Java - solved


I needed to install Java, and ran into this error message: "Internal Error 2755. 1624...". I looked around the Net. Found the tip to de- and reinstall Java, but didn't find an entry in the software list. Found a tip to try the Microsoft "Windows Installer CleanUp" tool. Didn't seem to help. To use the Java offline-package: same error when installing. Than i decided to look at the error message again: the off-line installer reported having a problem in a certain local directory (C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Sun\Java\jrexxxxx). I browsed to that location and found the off-line installer. Double clicked it and ... installed without a problem. Strange, but solved :-). Don't know whether the cleanup-tool and offline-installer were necessary, but hope this helps some people.

Oh: mind the tip from Matthew (response below): "the installation file is hidden so when you follow the path to a dead end unhide the files"!

  1. Java Infernal error 2755. 1624!!

    Well Raoul I spent 1 and 1/2 hours trying various solutions to this problem...went to forums and to Java help sites...nothing worked...until now.
    Thank you.
    By the way - to future users of this solution - the installation file is hidden so when you follow the path to a dead end unhide the files (seems obvious but I'm just putting that out there).
