Java???

Question

I cannot install Java in any form. Neither in reduced mode nor with the antivirus turned off.

Win 10 Pro 22H2

First a window pops up with the following message: "A new application is required to open this RES type link... Searching for an application in the Microsoft Store"

After this is unsuccessful, I get a RED X message: "Windows cannot find 'ms-windows-store :Assoc?protocol=res' file.

Please check that you entered the name correctly and try again."

I am helpless... S.O.S.!

AMENDMENT

THANK YOU everyone for your help, I'm bored, I reinstall EVERYTHING, 2-3 more days and I'm done with everything...

I'm sorry, I'm running out of possible fixes and solutions. Since this is an open forum, let's see if another member of the community has an alternative solution to the issue.

Answer 2

Long story short, yes, I tried EVERYTHING, NOTHING. Reinstalled... 2 more days and I'm done :-(

Answer 3

The error message indicates that is needed to install an additional app to finish the installation, and the Microsoft Store cannot be opened, this is why I suggested you repair the Microsoft Store to check if the installation proceeds.

Another possible cause for the error is that the JAVA online installer has a problem downloading the files needed. Did you try to run the JAVA offline installer?

Hi RobinsonSilvestre!

Thanks for the help, but I must have written something wrong. I currently have NO JAVA on my machine, and I try any version, the mentioned error messages appear. The problem is NOT with MSStore, unfortunately. Sorry, the text in the picture is Hungarian.![](https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/068100d7-0268-407a-8210-09bd3a266cc3?platform=QnA
