  • Unable to install Java, get error codes

    My OS is Vista Home premium 32-bit with sp2 from Vista

    Last night, I tried to install Java 6 Update 23. I had java 6 Update 22. So I deleted it via the function of Vista uninstall program. I rebooted after uninstalling. I then and manually removed all elements and Sun/Java files. I rebooted again

    I went to the site of java and started the installation process

    I was able to download the installation, but not able to install it

    The following message received

    Cannot locate the network location %APPDATA%\protector.exe Error 1606

     

    So I googled the Error 1606 and on the Microsoft site, it seemed to be a tool for the mistakes of 1606

    So I tried to run this tool and then got an error code 2738, so was not able to run the tool

    Error code 2738 looked up and he said something about the following dll files can not be registered

    They areandjscript.dll of vbscript.dll

     

    So I joined two of them using the

    Regsrv32 process. Both have shown now to be registered

    But then when I went to run the correction tool to correctthe Error 1606, she always failed

    I went ahead and even looked at the items of register which shall be fixed by the FIX IT tool for Error 1606 and the elements of the registry seem correct

    I even tried to go back and install java and obtained once again that the errorcan not locate the network location %APPDATA%\protector.exe Error 1606

     

    So I'm at a loss to know what to do next

    It is the suggestion of Oracle/Sun: http://java.com/en/download/help/error_installshield.xml

    This Fixit did you use http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2258121 orhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/886549 ? Have you checked the registry entries listed? (It may be legitimate differences on your system if you have moved the files like Documents). The FixIt must be performed on the account where you do the install. If you start in a standard user account and rise to an administrator by an account invite UAC, you must run the Fixit in the administrator account.

    Java is happy to do an update on the spot; Perhaps you forgot something in the registry that is causing a problem.
