Hi, I recently tried to learn Java, and install JDK, Later I quit, so i removed Jdk, and it all went to hell. First I couldn't remove java, then once I finally got it removed, I wanted to install a fresh version since my old one seemed to be broken. When I first tried to reinstall, it said Java is already installed on your machine. I had to go through my registry and delete some java files,
and finally my computer is clean of java. At least it appears to be. So I went to install java, and I got this error:
Windows Installer
The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation.
I know for a fact I didn't do that, I even made sure to let java through all my anti virus. I read somewhere that it was a problem with my registry. It said there may be leftover information. I used regedit and searched for java, and couldn't find anything. Actually I did, and I deleted it, but that didn't fix it. I tried CCleaner to see if it would pick up anything. I also ran a virus scan just to be sure
Any help would be helpful.
I'm running on Windows 7
Thanks, I already took a look at the thread, and saw it wasn't for my specific problem. I tried it anyway, both downloads, and neither worked. I'll tell you exactly how my download goes.
I download JRE from the java website, run it, accept the terms, and get through windows installer almost instantly. Then it brings up a screen and says installing java, with some ad about open office in the bottom, but the progress bar doesn't move, and after about 10 seconds, I get a error saying
The administrator has set policies against this download. I read through the rest of the posts to see if my problem was solved later one, but I can't find anything.
I'm going to try a system restore, to get back to my previous problem, and see if that fix works then. I'll get back to you.
Awesome! After i used system restore, and the batch file, I ended up with Java finally realized I don't have java, then Windows decided I did. How I fixed that, was I just downloaded the offline java for windows 64 bit, and it went through fine. It scared me for a bit there by stopping at "Extracting Installer" But after about 10 seconds, it worked. So YAY. Thank you Doug, and thank you WhattheTech.
