Similarly, in the Russian version Windows 8.1.

After join to the domain, jre7u55, jre7u60, jre8, jre8u5 not installed.

There is a temporary solution:

1. Install English Lang Pack

2. Apply English for Display language and Copy settings to Welcome screen and system accounts

3. Return the old language, and copy settings to New user accounts

4. jre7u55, jre7u60, jre8, jre8u5  install successfully.

This problem not fixed in jre7u65/8u11.

We also have this problem on many machines. Have you found any solution without editing language? Java 7 Update 67 did not fix the problem. We have Norwegian language.

It's now a official bug...

http://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8050838

That is good. I can't understand why this bug get priority 3. It should have been priority 1 if you ask me. We have over 8000 computers where java install fails, so we have to run on Java 7 Update 51 unntil this is resolved. Is there anyone in Oracle who can say anything aboute the fixtime for this issue? It is critical.

We have the same issue with German Windows 8.1. Changing the language is not an option. This bug is reported since July 14 and still no fix. Trying to update to Java Runtime Environment 8.0 build 20 (64-bit) is failing too. Oracle may should start fixing there bugs instead of joining with ASK. => Oracle is now the ASK Company.......

So now this bug is closed as incomplete because they could not reproduce it. I have a way to reproduce it. If you have all that is known here, Norwegian/Russian/German or any other localized Windows 8/8.1 and joined to a domain. Then download Java 7 Update 55 or newer version, exe or msi, and then disconnect network before installing. Then you will get this error every time. I really hope someone in Oracle can see this and give the consultant working with this BUG this information. For us this BUG is very critical.

Hi,

I have the same problem on two German windows 8.1 machines! I'm able to install the JDK but not the contained or separate JRE -> tested with JRE 7u67 & JRE8u20.

The suggest workaround (user: 2709705) -> install the english language pack.

Maybe a interessting information -> I saw the "Restore Java security promts" dialog the first time after the english language pack installation & the default display language switch.

Regards,

Steve

PS: I had a problem to install the english language pack on my Windows 8.1 machine -> the language pack wasn't available .... the answer of this form thread fixed my problem: Language Pack not usable message in Windows 8.1

Hello Folks!

I do have the same problem here. Actually installed is Java JRE 1.7 (7.0.600.19), and I wanted to upgrade to version 7u65 or 8u20, but without success.

Here I use Windows 8.1 Pro, German version, and the notebook is also part of a domain network, but not always connected to it.

Both options to try to install the Java update are failing: connected to the domain network or not connected... :-(

Error message reports, that Java-Update has not been finished. Errorcode: 1603.

When I read the messages, I recognize, that there are several users, who are having the same problems to update Java. I would be thankful to Oracle for some support...

whats going on with this fu..ing Oracle, 4 months without a reaktion about this installer bug. the language setting workaround is for enterprise definitifly not aceptable. Oracle it is time to do something!

The bug is finally fixed. Can anyone in Oracle say anything about when you will release a version with this fix included? I hope you can rerelease Update 67 with this fix included.
