jdk7 refuses to install on Windows XP

olefevreFeb 16 2012 — edited Jun 15 2012
The jdk7 u3 and before it the u2 as well refuse to install; they start and die without providing any information at all as to why. I uninstalled Java from my PC before, cleaned the registry very thoroughly, still no go. Words can't express my disgust. In all the history of Java I have never encountered this situation. What kind of program dies (not from a crash) without providing some feedback to the user? Is this the best Oracle engineers can do? I filed a bug report against this situation at the time of 7u2 but obviously nothing at all was done.

I used SysInternals Process Explorer to try to gain some insight. I could see that the installer creates a directory called c:\Documents and Settings \<username>\jdk1.7.0_03_combo and writes a java_jdk.exe file to it, then deletes it! Then it does the same with javafx_sdk-2_0_3-windows-i586.exe But that doesn't help me much because the whole thing happens too fast for me to grab the files.

So, what can I do????

When was the last time you were able to login and what has changed since that time?

Has someone changed access privileges to that specific location => Access to the path 'D:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\logs\fdm\Common\'?

Thank you,

Has the password for the native HSS admin account changed?

Can you re-type the HSS Admin password and test the connection again?

Hi,

I have tested the connection with the admin user and password. The connection was showing as failed. But the we are able to login with the admin user to shared services, workspace, Essbase....

Thanks

Very difficult to troubleshoot over the forum. Please open a SR if you have not done so already.
