New Java SE JDK kit 6 version 26 does NOT install

867316Jun 7 2011 — edited Jun 9 2011
Firstly, if this is in the wrong forum location I appologise. This seemed to be the most appropriate place.

Here is the background...for the last week or so I had been troubleshooting an issue with getting the Java JDK to work in eclipse. I was getting an Error when loading Eclipse which would not let it load at all. I had tried many things and the best answer I could find on the internet was that Oracle and Eclipse were notorious for having versions of the JDK that simply would not work in Eclipse. I don't know which side had the issue but regardless I deleted kit 6 version 25 today when I saw they just released version 26. My hope was that the issue was fixed in this version.

Upon downloading the JDK and attempting to install it, I can't even finish the installation without an error (!!!!). The error says exactly this...

Java Setup

Error 1723.There is a problem with this Windows
Installer package. A DLL required for this install to
complete could not be run. Contact your support
personnel or package vendor.

I can't even get the darn thing to finish the install. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Maybe tell me what DLL file is missing that I need to install and where I can get it and where to install it? I literally just bought this laptop this week and the ONLY thing I have done with it so far is installed eclipse and this JDK, nothing else. It's got 64 bit windows 7. Seems that if a brand new factory default dell computer can't install the JDK from the download on the Oracle website that perhaps the download version has an issue? Any ideas? Is there a support email/phone at Oracle that I can contact or is this it?

Thank you for any help you can provide.

hi singh
this is the character set for my DB WE8MSWIN1252

I'm not sure that WE8MSWIN1252 contains any arabic characters seeing as the WE stands for Western European and the MSWIN1252 presumably for the Windows 1252 codepage.

In which case, what you are storing is not genuine arabic characters. Therefore it's likely that you can only view this through the application as it only makes sense to the application. Outside of the application, it's effectively gobbledygook.

I have come across such a situation previously where an application did something similarly crazy and to translate the garbage that it inserted into the database (via a reverse process of the following) the application a) took the UTF8 stored converted it to Unicode, applied Windows codepage 1252 to the byte stream of that and then to the the result of that applied codepage 1251. This was the cyrillic alphabet ... for the application at least. To everyone else, garbage


If you had genuine arabic character representation - which it sounds like you don't - then you'd need a client that supported that characterset and then have the relevant local settings applied.
