java won't install

5 New Member
i've tried everything i could find to install java. i no longer even have java on my computer. i used a program called windows install clean up to fix my problem. i also opened the run process, then put in regedit and deleted all traces of "javasoft." nonetheless java will not install and the installer won't even show up when i open the downloaded exe anymore. help?

Go here and download JDK version 6, update 7 (a bit down the page).
I hope you haven't completely ruined your registry. The download and installation
doesn't take any trickery dickery; just let your computer do what it has to do.

kind regards,

I don't know; please elaborate on "didn't work at all". Didn't it download? Didn't
it install? Didn't it run afterwards?

kind regards,

it downloaded, but the installer still would not pop up after clicked. if i try to install something else liek say mozilla firefox, the installer still prompts me to begin the installation. unlike for java when i download any of the java installations... the installation box never comes up when i click the downloaded java installer.

If you click on the link that starts downloading: jdk-6u7-windows-i586-p.exe
do you select 'save' or 'run'? Selecting the second option should start it all.
Check if you really are downloading the file I mentioned.

kind regards,

Do you have write/execute permissions? Can you run the same thing as an
'Administrator' or 'root'?

kind regards,
