Windows 7 - update Java

Question

Original Title : Need Help Please

Hello Everyone and I hope some one can help me.

My java needed to be updated. I deleted all previous java and tried to download the free java version for Windows 7 @ java.com

It acts like it's loading then I get a pop up window telling me this .... sun\java\jrel.1.7.0.21\java_sp.dll is corrupted. So I guess that's why it won't reload and download :( and here I am with NO java on my system and you know what that causes. I tried restore to a previous date but it won't allow me to go back to restore from today. 21/04/2013 so it doesn't fix that file.

Does anyone know how I can fix this corruption? I searched the internet for answers but no luck!

Thank you for reading and getting back on this, I appreciate any help I can get.

Answer 1

Hello BearPup,

Unfortunately I uninstalled removing all older versions of Java so my Java was completely wiped. I ended up installing the offline installation and it loaded :) Thank you for your advice on running the included installer. It's all good now and I fare well :)

Thank you once again for your help and quick response.

Regards,

Answer 2

Hello LynnXA,

Did you delete or uninstall? If you just deleted files that could be the problem. Go to Control Panel, Programs and Features and start that applet. Then try to uninstall your 'current' Java version. If that doesn't work, go to Program Files (if 64 Bit OS) or Program Files (x86) (if 32 Bit OS), and delete the Java folder.

Then go to java.com and download the latest full version (about 31 MB). When finished run the included installer.

Clear? Let me know how you fare.
