Java EE 5 SDK will not intall on my Vista PC

2
Hello,

I have a HP laptop with Vista Home Premium (32 Bit). I have downloaded the JDK compiler from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.

When I run it the install process freezes at different places each time. One time it will freeze right after I select the SDK directy, another it will freeze after I've created my admin password and other times it will begin to install and freeze at 52%. (If it begins the install, it always freezes at 52%, that's the only consistancy so far)

I don't know what to do...Each time I have to force quit and reboot just so I can try again to start the process over. I've tried with the UAC both on and off and with Norton Auto-Protect disabled and enabled.

Also, I am running the program as an Administrator.

One other thing, I did one time get a "compatiblity issue" message from Windows, but when I went into more details and tried to search for solutions, nothing came up.

Any help/advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I ran the install again this morning and got past the 52%, but this time I get the message "installation has been stopped by user or has failed due to errors."

Here is the installation log:
INFO - start JRE installation
INFO - end JRE installation
INFO - Start Sun Java System Message Queue configuration
INFO - End Sun Java System Message Queue configuration
INFO - Start core server uninstallation
INFO - End core server uninstallation
INFO - Start Java EE 5 samples uninstallation.
INFO - End Java EE 5 samples uninstallation.
INFO - Start samples uninstallation.
INFO - End samples uninstallation.
INFO - Start core server uninstallation
INFO - End core server uninstallation
INFO - Start Sun Java System Message Queue uninstallation
INFO - End Sun Java System Message Queue uninstallation

Not sure what this means, so again, any help is appreciated.

Ran into the same issue. Several false starts later I got an install to complete.

DO NOT check the Create Windows Service option and try again. Having this option unchecked was the only difference between several failed attempts and a final, successful one.

Also, uninstall DOES NOT appear to clean up everything it should. Manually remove the c:/sun/sdk directory structure if necessary.
