See here: http://www.msigeek.com/715/how-to-t... Are you quite certain it didn't come from MSI? It's just surprising if Java and MSI use the same error code. Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks message edited by Derek

If you have this update ( KB2918614 ) remove it. Keep in mind, most people do not need Java, hackers love it. message edited by Johnw

Also review system control panel, advance settings environments. Some custom applications developers create Java applets and to provide stability bundle it the runtime version of Java very common for ver 1.7.### During Java ver 1.8.## it sees that version running and correctly stops and provides error 1603.

Excellent! Removed this Vista update (KB2918614), and installation probs with Java were resolved. Also my installation probs with Open Office were resolved. Thank you Johnw. I cannot understand why this fix is not highlighted on the Java and MS websites. Vista update KB2918614I is surely toxic - what other programs does it impede? And is Johnw the only person to have sussed this out? message edited by OldCove99

"And is Johnw the only person to have sussed this out?" Nope, all I did was Google, can't remember what keywords I used. Nice to hear you got such a good result.
