Started Java 8 installation on Windows 7 does not complete

pstein-JavaNet

Due to other external programs which require 32bit Java v8 I have to (re)install 32bit Java v8 on an older 64bit Windows 7 computer.

When I double click (as usual) on the downloaded package

jre-8u321-windows-i586.exe

the installation is started and I am asked whether I want to run this file (from Oracle).

After confirmation nothing happens any more. No progress even after 30 minutes.

Why?

The JRE installation creates a second process as visible in Task Manager.

See attached snapshot (click to enlarge):

The current user is member of the administrators group.

There is enough disk space

No Java versions are currently installed.

Firewall is disabled

The same problem occurs when starting the JDK installation (instead of JRE)

jdk-8u321-windows-i586.exe

I remember that installation (of an Java 8) works in the past (but was removed later).

Installation of 64bit Java 8 works. But I need 32 bit Java

To stop installation I have to kill the processes in Task Manager

The logfile jusched.log shows the following content:

Please check the certified platforms for JDK 8:

https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/products-doc-jdk8-jre8-certconfig.html

and run JDK 8 with certified platforms.

That table states that:

• JDK 1.8.0_311 was certified with Windows 11.
• JDK 1.8.0_51 was certified with Windows 10.

In other words, JDK 8u51 isn't certified in prior versions of Windows 10, like Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8. Or JDK 8u311 isn't certified in prior versions of Windows 11, like Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10. With that, JDK 8u321 isn't certified with Windows 7.

You mentioned that an old version of JDK 8 was running fine in this environment, but it was removed. If you still need to install an old JDK8 release, check some of versions with the following support note and download it from MOS, patches and updates:

Supported Java SE Downloads on MOS (Doc ID 1439822.1)

For example, the first version of JDK 8: Patch 18190824: Oracle JDK 8

Note that Windows 7 is not longer supported by Microsoft.

As you might know, you should run your apps with supported and certified platforms.
