Update 5-12-16: If you’re receiving this error and “Enable Java content in the browser” is already deselected, check the box, Apply, OK, uncheck the box, Apply, OK. Java is not detected by third-party uninstall programs either, such as. On the Security tab, temporarily deselect the “Enable Java content in the browser” checkbox.Ĭomplete the 64-bit version of Java installation (launch the installer using “ Run as Administrator“) and don’t forget to “Enable Java content in the browser” when finished. Installing Java on my Windows 7 Professional 64-bit OS results in this error: 377586 Neither the previous (8.0.60) nor the new version (8.0.66) of Java show up in the 'Programs\Uninstall a program' in the control panel. You’ll find the Java applet in the Windows Control Panel when a 32-bit version of Java is installed. The fix in my particular instance was Option 2: Disable Java content (in the web browser) through the Java Control Panel. The Java knowledgebase covering this issue offers some basic workarounds under Option 1 such as a system reboot, offline installer, uninstalling old versions, all of which I had already tried without success. It wasn’t until I rolled all the way back to a version 7 build that the installation was successful.įor posterity, this spiceworks thread covers a lot of ground there seems to be a variety of fixes for an equal number of root causes which all yield the same Java installation failure. Clicking on ‘Close’ will save the changes. There will be an extension ‘.jar’- Click on this and change the default program to ‘JAVA virtual machine launcher’. Scan the list to find an option called- ‘Associate a file type or protocol with a program’ and select it. In fact all version 8 builds exhibited this behavior. Start by opening the ‘Default Programs’ tab from the Start Menu. I encountered a never before seen by me problem installing the Windows Offline (64-bit) version of Java Version 8 Update 73 on Windows 7. This blog post is for my future self as I’m bound to run into it again. I’m no stranger to Java and I’m more than willing to share my bitter experiences with it but rarely does my dissatisfaction stem from the installation process itself (that is if you don’t count the update frequency). Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) my workstation isn’t one of them.
