Java auto downloads version 10

1. I downloaded the installer and it is less than 1 megabyte. Why is it so small?

The Windows Online Installer for the JRE will download more installer files. Using this installer helps users to avoid downloading unnecessary files.

2. I had the Java Control Panel open for Java Update and the About tab showed the version of the JRE installed in my computer. Then I ran Java Update, and the version of the JRE that the Java Control Panel is showing has not changed. Why is this?

You need to close and restart the Java Control Panel to get the updated Control Panel.

3. Netscape/Mozilla is not working correctly with Java Plug-in. Why?

First, close all the browsers sessions. If this does not work, reboot the system and try again.

4. I try to install on the D:\ drive and Java Update is still installing files onto the C:\ drive. Why?

Regardless of whether an alternate target directory was selected, Java Update needs to install some files on the Windows system drive.

5. How can I uninstall the Java Update version that I just installed?

If you want to uninstall the JRE, then use the Add/Remove Programs utility in the Microsoft Windows . Select the Control Panel and then Add/Remove Programs.

6. After the JRE bootstrap installer is downloaded and executed, why does the message "This installer cannot proceed with the current Internet Connection settings of your system. In your Windows Control Panel, please check Internet Options -> Connections to make sure the settings and proxy information are correct." appear?

The JRE bootstrap installer uses the system Internet Connection settings to connect to the web for downloading extra files. If you are behind a firewall and require proxy settings, then ensure that the proxy settings in Internet Options/Internet Properties are set up properly (select Start, then Control Panel, then Internet Options/Internet Properties, then Connections, and then LAN Settings). If you can browse the external web (for example, outside the firewall) with Internet Explorer, then your proxy settings are properly set up. The installer does not understand the proxy settings specified in Netscape/Mozilla.

7. I found the jusched.exe process running in the background of my system after installing JRE. Is there a way to shut it down?

The is the scheduler process of Java Update. This process runs automatically. To shut in the Java Control Panel on the Update tab, deselect the Check for Updates Automatically check box.

8. When I click the Update Now button from the Java Control Panel, it complains about the system being "offline." What does that mean?

Java Update can be run only if the system is connected to the network. A system that is not connected to the network is referred to as being offline. When the Update Now is clicked, it will check the online/offline status of your system. If your computer does not have internet access, then the error message is displayed. Check that your system is currently connected to the internet and try again.

9. I followed the instructions to install a specific version of the JRE. After the installation, a message is displayed from system tray saying an update is available for download. What should I do?

The message is part of the Java Auto Update mechanism, which detects at user login time if a newer version of the JRE is available for download. In the system tray, click the Java Update icon to download and install the update.

10. I encountered the error "This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package." when running the Java SE installer.

There are several possible reasons for this error to be displayed; a few are listed:

• Network connection fails.

• Download manager software interrupts the download process.

• Another application, such as an antivirus application, may interrupt the installation process.

To address these problems, ensure that the third-party downloader applications are turned off and the network connection is configured properly. Also, if a proxy is in use, then ensure that the proxy authentication is turned off.

11. I encountered the error "Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

See Error 1722: Problem with Windows Installer Package. If you encounter any other errors or issues, then you can access Java Help Center, which contains solutions for issues that you might encounter when downloading and installing Java on your system. In particular, you can search for solutions by error number. Searching for "Error 1722" returns a solution to this issue.
