• Java 8 71 update tries to install a new support tool?

  I received a window indicating I should install a new version of Java. During the installation, a window came "update Java 8 71 trying to install a new tool of assistance." I went on the Oracle web site to learn more, and he says: "Oracle has partnered with companies that offer different products. The Setup program can offer you the option to install these programs when you install Java. Specify whether you want these programs installed, and then click Next. " At this time, I canceled the installation, since I started to worry that allowing the"Helper"install could infect my system. Thus according to 'I'm still 66 update on Java (System Preferences/Java). My question is, someone knows it more on the 'Helper', and should I allow to install? Thank you.

  BTW, I went to get the .dmg file in the case where I have to re - install and can't find it. I expect it to be in the downloads folder but not so much. Where should I look for it? Thank you!

  Yes, you can allow it. However, if you do not use Java or applications that need it, then you need not to install Java.

  Update of Windows on the computer, I'll put in place says that this important update is available:

  KB2699988 - a security update Cumulative for Internet Explorer 7 for Windows Vista for x 64 systems.

  When I try to install from Windows update I get this error:

  It then provides a link to "Get help with this error" which takes you to a page of results from help and Support Windows. No listed results mention a C 8007371 error, but one of them is "Resolve problems with installing updates" I click on that one.

  The upper part of advertising Microsoft 'Fix - it' for "automatically diagnose and fix common problems with Windows Update. I have try this. The file runs and I select "detect problems and patch for me (recommended) - with a single click, we detect problems AND apply the patches on this machine" at the end of its run, the program informs me that "Troubleshooting is complete.

  I try from Windows update - fails with an error C 8007371
  Restart and try again - fails with an error C 8007371

  So, I decide to try to download the file directly from microsoft and bypass the Windows Update mechanism

  Downloaded KB2699988 from Microsoft.
  Tried to install it in the 'normal' windows desktop: come to the last part of the green bar and then I get:
  "Some updates were not installed - the following updates don't have not been installed: security for Windows Update (KB2699988).

  Tried again to install the SafeMode file. Had this error:
  Setup Windows Update Standalone - Setup has encountered an error: 0x8007043c. This service cannot be started in Mode safe.

  Went on the forums and then I tried these challenges listed as possible solutions to this problem:

  1 ran the System File Checker scan according to the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936212. He returned a value of "Windows Resource Protection has not found any breach of integrity."
  2. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936212 (2nd half of the page) listed by using the System Restore tool to move to another point in time. I have all the old points system, restore, so this isn't an option for me.
  3. clean start up the PC and then ran Windows Update according to the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135: essentially the same as before. However, to stop all services, and then restart the Windows Update service, I tried, once again, to install the stand-alone Installer KB2699988 (file name of this file, for your benefit is .msu Windows6. 0 -KB2699988 - x 64). After the execution of this file, this message will appear: "Setup Windows Update Standalone - the update doesn't not apply to your system" OK is my only option here.

  So now the leaves wondering if this necessary update is really necessary at all. Why Windows Update says that I need this file which is not even for my computer?
