I tried to download Java on my laptop (which has windows 10) but i keep getting a 1603 error. My computer used to have windows 8.1 and it did not work back then either
I appreciate any advice to solve or work around this problem
I have had this problem. I was able to fix it thanks to a co-worker. The problem started happening after I installed HP Unified Functional Testing (UFT, aka QTP). Installing this product changes the Windows environment variables used by Java. He told me the following: "So change the names of JAVA_OPTIONS, IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS, JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS to something else (both in system and user variables) and delete any Java folder(in Program Files (x86) or Program Files) which gets installed despite the error. Restart the system and then try installing Java."
Actually, all I did was rename the environment variables and run the installer. This worked.
My answer is not related to win 10, but might help someone who is having similar problem in windows 7 machine and not able to install jre 32 bit version.
the work around to this is once you downloaded the jre, copy the path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_121\bin\javaw.exe" and paste it under java runtime environment settings which is found -Java Control panel>java>view
I think you downloaded the wrong version. If your laptop support x64 bit software you should download Java 1.8 x64 version.
Here is the link.

I had this problem for a month now. I tried everything on my windows 8, but I couldn't get the latest java on it. When I tried to install java on an empty computer, the 64 bit version did not go through (error 1603) and I realized the problem didn't come from an old java install and I install 32 bit. it worked on the new computer with windows 7 and on my computer running 8.1.
note: I had deleted all the java versions before going through with it.
To fix java 1603 error you have to follow few simple steps.
First of all remove all old java version.
Then remove some windows update file which might be reason of this
error. Like KB2918614 update.
After that download and Install latest version of java and activate
java in browser. Now everything will be fine you can test the java
version on java website...

I encountered this error on Windows 8.1 and when I checked with Oracle web site, they said that is is not yet resolved, and under investigation. They also showed a link for off-line installation as an alternative arrangement. However, upon investigation of my system, i found out that the available space in C drive was only about 20 MB or so. I cleared my system and provided enough space. When I tried with the extra space, I didn't encounter any error. May be, you could try with a better free space...
First you should close the browser because if any webpage will use Java, it will cause conflict. Then do custom installation, i.e. install in some other folder other than default folder and point environment variable to newly installed Java location. It will resolve your issue.

so, I got a new external monitor for my iMac, and was downloading the latest Java -- java18 -- from java 8. I hadn't used the machine for years, but since getting my new monitor a couple weeks ago, I'm happy to know that I can still use it. I had written it off after the backlight went out, but lo and behold, the machine stills works fine.
Anyway, I downloaded Java 18 from the oracle website, installed it with no problem, but when I go the terminal app and enter
java -version it still says java 1.8 (java 8). I looked in the java folder in the library directory, and sure enough the java 18 folder is there, but for some reason it won't or doesn't 'see' it as the current/default java version.
Anyone out there have any help to give? I'm not sure what terminal commands to use to make this the default version. maybe because it's so far from the version that was on there. Can anyone help me out? The machine is a 2010 iMac 11,6 running El Capitan, and I want to use it while it lasts, as I gradually switch over to Linux.
The machine still works great, and the latest version that was on it before this download was java 8. I'm not at the machine right now, so i'll have to look at this over the next few days.
You need to add in ~/.profile file (create it, if doesn't exist), the setting of JAVA_HOME environment variable, pointing to your Java18 installation directory:
JAVA_HOME=/Path/to/Java18
export JAVA_HOME;

In case of failure, try to do the same but in the files:
~/.base_profile
~/.zshrc

I have formatted my Mac due to some storage issues. Before this, I used Eclipse in a proper way. Now i have installed the JDK
Then, i have installed Java
Until now everything seems to be correct but when I open the Eclipse installer...
What can I do to fix this? I need to work with this the soon as possible.
Thanks
Eclipse on macOS will not start with Java 14 installed, this is being tracked in Eclipse bug 561273.
Installing Java 8 as well does not help. You need to remove the Java 14 install. You could use the Java 13.0.2 release instead.
Eclipse have determined that the root cause of this issue is a change in Java 14 which is described in this bug report JDK-8238225. The fix for this should be in Java 14.0.1
Update: Eclipse runs fine with Oracle Java 14.0.1 so the issue has been fixed.
I also asked this question which was closed, that's why I answer what I have found out: Eclipse will not install on Mac OS Catalina 10.15.4, saying the above error message
Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine.
Deinstalling jdk and install an older one wouldn't help on its own because Eclipse is refusing to install in the first place (as mentioned above). What I have done:
i´ve installed an JDK with boost (you can try several, mine worked with Version 13)
I edited the installer:
Download the dmg file
convert the dmg-file with "hdiutil convert /dev/disk3s1 -format UDRW -o devimage"
mount the converted dmg-file with: "hdiutil attach -owners on devimage.dmg -shadow"
Edit the /Volumes/Eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/Info.plist: there is a section which is commented and there you can try the jdk version. You have to give the full path to the java executable, for example:
<string>-vm</string><string>/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-13.0.2.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java</string>
Then my eclipse started from the (already) mounted Eclipse image without complaining
I had the same issue myself a while back. In your Eclipsepedia it provided an example of what the eclipse.ini file looks like when your trying to specify a JVM. So just change the eclipse.ini file and then make sure that you have all of the correct documents in that path to match the example.

I am trying to install the latest Java JRE for Windows 8.1:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html
And none of the installers work. Online/Offline/x86/x64
I double-click the installer, get the UAC popup, approve, and then it thinks for a second and then just does nothing. How can I troubleshoot this more?
Things I've Tried:
Disabling UAC
Disabling all anti-virus
Disabling Windows Firewall / Defender
Downloading older version of Java (still does nothing when run)
Running as Administrator
Launching from admin-command-line
Changing compatibility mode (all of vista -> windows 7)
Running in Safe Mode (same behavior)
Uninstalling all older Java installations (big mistake)
Monitoring Process List - the java installer pops up for a second and
disappears
Installing through the JDK - JDK installer also does nothing when launched
Event Viewer shows no errors
I can't find any logs or errors that might help narrow down what the issue could be.
Any help would be very much appreciated. If there are any additional tools I could check out to help with troubleshooting, or any logs people know of, I could use any help I could get.
Thank you!!
After hours of fiddling around, I think I finally have something working. It seems that there's some weirdness for any system that has ever upgraded their version of Windows (I went from 8 to 8.1) with some sort of MSI ID sort of thing. So, here's how I finally ended up:
HOW I FIXED:
1) The issue started after the Java 8 "51" installer. So the 51 still works, get it here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-javase8-2177648.html
You want: jdk-8u51-windows-x64.exe (or i586)
Install older version
2) download latest Java .zip archive (like jre-8u91-windows-i586.tar.gz ) and unzip it in any location, preferably "c:\Program Files\Java"
3) Go to "C:\Program Files\Java" and rename jre1.8.0_51 to something else ("jre1.8.0_51_bak" maybe)
4) Copy the contents of the extracted .tar.gz contents into a new folder named "c:\program files\java\jre1.8.0_51" (or rename the directory)
So basically using the install directory for 51, but adding the latest Java files into the folder that the installation is pointing at.
Quick fix, for now, just to help anybody in a pinch. I'll update as I continue to sort it out and if there's any new information.
Good luck!
After a couple of months with no Android development, I ran the SDK Manager yesterday, and upgraded from r16 to r18. After that upgrade, everything stopped working. I downloaded a fresh copy of the SDK tools from Google. The Windows installer complains there's no Java installed (the solution here , which used to work before, doesn't work).
I downloaded the ZIP file instead and put it in the right place. Running SDK Manager.EXE does nothing (it just returns immediately to the command prompt). Running tools\android.bat displays an error complaining "Failed to convert path to a short DOS path: c:\windows\system32\java.exe", and then suggests I install Java.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, with Java 1.7 (64 bit) properly installed (Eclipse runs well, the Android tools r16 ran very well until yesterday). c:\windows\system32\java.exe exists and works as it should.
What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE: I found an old r16 setup around. I installed it and everything went back to normal.
I put this one aside for a while, but now I had to get it back running. I didn't want to install a 32-bit Java VM alongside the 64 bit one I have.
I found the culprit. in android_sdk\tools\lib there's a batch-file called find_java.bat. It calls find_java.exe -s to find a list of potential Java locations. Running the exe file like this returns the error I've been seeing:
Failed to convert path to short DOS path: c:\windows\system32\java.exe
-s stands for short. Running it without the -s causes find_java.exe to work, causing find_java.bat to work, causing everything else to work. So the fix was to edit find_java.bat, and remove the -s .
I honestly don't know what Google is thinking.
My fix was to remove /bin from my JAVA_HOME, as in C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\bin --> C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\
I'm running 64bit java on W7.

This is just a guess, but I advise you to install JDK 6. It is said in the SDK requirements that you have to use it. I remember that I installed JDK 7 and I had some kind of trouble with it too.
Also it is safer to use the 32-bit version.
You need to also update the Eclipse plugins via Help > Install New Software.
I was able to fix same like problem by adding the jdk path to PATH variable in environment variables.
