View Full Version : Java runtime environment not letting me install >_<


Claw

I'm trying to open limewire (already downloaded and installed it) and it says I need Java Runtime Environment 5. I go to the Java website, download the installer, try to open the installer, and it won't let me.
The pop-up says "The installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."
Anyone know what the crap is wrong?

You may have either downloaded the incorrect Java or need to verify it.

What processor do you have?

I used that link already, tried both online and offline versions, and neither worked. I got the same message for both.

Ok XP?

Alright.

Right click the start up button and click explore.

Find the Java file.

After you find it open it.

It should work from there on out.

Tell me if it still dosn't work.

When it opened I got some license stuff and 3 folders labeled bin, lib, and javaws. Is there some specific thing I have to open to make it run?

You have to open the application itself.

Look through the folders untill you find it.

When you do, open it.

Your not "computarded".

You asked a question,

and I am helping you.

Dont feel bad about it.

On Topic:

Define can't open it.

Like you need administrative powers to open it or it dosn't do anything when you click on it?

I get a pop-up saying "Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\lib\applet\WMPNS.jar"
I'm using an administrator account so that's not it.
It could be that I don't have the right programs to install it. Like I had to download winrar to download limewire.

not necessary to take a screenie.

go to the folder labeled bin, and you should see a file called jucheck. open it. It should install any necessary updates for JRE.

I opened jucheck and downloaded the update but I got the same pop-up (what I had in the beginning) when I tried to install it.

I'll be looking through this with you, just help look. :)

no. it's illegal if you use it for copyright infringement like most people do, but he never said he planned on doing that. before you download limewire you agree not to use it for copyright infringment. BTW, you were not even close to being on topic.

Mkay...I've been looking through that site and I tried downloading the offline version again. I got a different message saying "Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid."
I should be looking at the errors for JRE 1.4 right?

Sorry to say it but I don't think that was the solution. I tried it and I still got the original pop-up. Plus that's for JRE 1.50 and JRE 6.0 and I think I have JRE 1.4
Maybe I'll just use iTunes.

Are you trying to install a version of JRE other than 6.0?

You need to tell me which version.

Whats your point about the air force bud, means nothing on the "Internet". Also that was a joke if you can read afterwords a said "lul"<-generally meaning I'm joking around. But then you had to go ahead and flame so w/e you can be the "bigger man" but you still started it.

Your e-p*nis failed to enlarge. It has now shrunk considerably from it's original size.

HWV is my mate and he's straight with me. You f*ck with him, you f*ck with me.

In other news: JRE AND JDK are two different packages. JRE is for the basic running of Java applications and JDK comes with javac and other Java development applications.
