I installed Netbeans 7.1.1 to my Windows 7 64 bit. Whenever I try to update it, or install JUNIT/SWING plugin the updating process bar freezes.
I read about installing it to a folder where it has write access so I installed Netbeans to my D drive and start it with admin rights but nothing more happened.
The other problem is that when I exit from Netbeans it often restarts itself after closing which looks strange.
Does anyone have idea what to do? Has anyone seen the same?
Previously I had Netbeans 7.0 on windows 7 32bit installed to D:\Netbeans which was working...
I think I found the solution. I read everywhere that I have to turn off the firewalls, try to install it manually, or install it as administrator but these were not enough. I had to add netbeans as an exception into every antivirus softwares as well! [like AVG]
Summa smummarum if you have the same problem, do the followings:
1. Install netbeans to somewhere except system diretories [I installed it to my D drive]
2. Add Netbeans to your firewall exception list.
3. Add Netbeans to all your antivirus softwares exception list as well.
I hope it will help everyone who has the same issue.

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!
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've tried desperately to download JRE to end up with nothing.
Originally I thought I deleted something so I cleared my computer of all JRE files plus all java related files, deleted them and completely removed them. I even downloaded JavaRa and removed all files from there. I then re-started my computer and tried to re-download Java again but it didn't work. I then deleted that from the computer, re-started once more and downloaded the latest from JavaRa, and again nothing. I tried manually downloading from the website (Windows x86 Offline - jre-8u45-windows-i586.exe) and whenever I try to run it nothing happens, same with when I run with admin, nothing happens. I completely formatted my computer today and even then when I tried, nothing happened, I still had the same problem.
This is the actual text that appears whenever I try to download it:
The wizard was interrupted before Java 7 Update 67 could be completely installed. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again.
I've tried looking at so many help sites and Java help itself but nothing can help, please someone help. I can provide any additional information needed.
I run 32bit Windows Vista Home Premium.
how about this?

its jre for 32 bit windows
I'm trying to install subclipse on my desktop so i can use subversion.
When I was at school with my laptop, the installation worked well and i was able to update and commit on the subversion, but, while i was at home, i tried to update and nothing worked. Then I tried on my desktop to install the subclipse plugin without success.
When I go to "Help>install new software>Work With Kepler - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler"
Nothing appears on the software view except "pending..."
The thing I don't understand is that i'm not using a proxy at home, so i don't understand why it's freezing at this step.
Then, I tried to change my eclipse version but it didn't worked
I also tried to change my network settings without success
Anyone had the same problem before or know how to fix it ?
EDIT 1 : While waiting for the pending thing to resolv i had an error :
"Unable to read repository at http: //download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler/content.xml.
Unable to read repository at http: //download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler/content.xml.
Connection has been shut down"
I solved a similar issue today with a new eclipse Kepler installation on a machine with Java 7. We eventually got it to work by having eclipse run on a Java 6 JRE instead.
To do this, add
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe
Above the -vmargs line in your eclipse.ini file (which should be next to your eclipse.exe)
Looks like you have extra whitespace between : and /
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.
