Java won't install on windows 7

Here's the issue: A while ago i tried installing the newest java jre update, but the installer wouldn't start (it downloaded the installer, i hit install, and nothing), i also tried the full installer, but that wouldn't start at all. (windows says it didn't install correctly… go figure) I then tried removing all older java versions, etc. with these programs: JavaRa Windows Installer Cleanup Utility I have tried several java installers, every single one failed: "chromeinstall-6u23.exe" "jre-6u23-windows-i586-iftw.exe" "jre-6u23-windows-i586-s.exe" Again, none worked, and still don't. They just close without any error message, sometimes windows pops up saying "'This program may not have installed correctly"

Have you tried this?



Java™ 6 can be updated from the Java Control Panel. Go Start > Settings >Control Panel > Java (looks like a coffee cup) > Update Tab > Update Now. An update should begin; follow the prompts.

You can also try right clicking on the downloaded file and selecting Run as Administrator, see if that does it.
