Java Installer Problem

That error means a custom action failed to run.

Try running the attached as an administrator and then run the package again.
AsAdmin-RegisterandEnable32and64.cmd

I see it is an attachment text, but how do I use it?

It is a shell script - right click it and select "Run As Administrator" - it is just like a .BAT

I download "AsAdmin-RegisterandEnable32and64.cmd" to my desktop.  Then ran as administrator  it did some stuff in a DOS box and when it disappeared I figured it was done.  So I the ran "jre-7u7-windows-i586.exe" and received another error (attached).

Sorry, I meant for you to re-run the Java setup after running the script.

No problem (I probably should have know that).  So this time I ran the Java Setup, but revived an error (attached... there are two screens, #4 is first and then #3).

Where did you find the 1721 error originally reported?

Could you please post the error log referenced in your first screenshot on photobucket?

Also, it would be very helpful if you followed the instructions in the below article and posted the verbose MSI log that is generated (instructions are all in the article - zip the log file before posting).

1721 Error came from the attached Java install log generated a five hours ago.  

The log I'll get back to you on that later.
install4jError798873560307479933.log

Here are those MSI...logs (all of what I could find).
MSI-Logs.zip

So, I take it that it's a larger problem?

Hmmmm - that's a lot of not being able to find certain files.  Don't think it could be permissions.  Have you tried running a dskchk in case you have some corruption?

Also, have you successfully used the EXACT copy of the downloaded installer on the working machines?

1. Don't misunderstand, I attached any MSI.Log files that I could find.  They are not all from the same day when the 1721 error occurred.

2. I ran the 'dskchk /r command...took awhile, but it just got done.  Everything seemed ok (no corruptions), but I missed the last messages before it auto rebooted (I assume everything ended well).  Is there a log somewhere that I can look for?

3. I have no idea what you meant by  "...successfully used the EXACT copy of the downloaded installer on the working machines? "

I appreciate you not giving up and helping me with this issue.. its seems more than I first thought.

Did you actually use the reg file on the article and re-run the setup?  I ask because the log files are not the verbose ones I would expect.

I thought I already had the key since I fond MSI...Logs, but apparently not (see screenshot).

As seen in the screenshot, there is no "Installer" Folder after the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\].  

So how do I make the key in the missing folder?

Double-click the .REG file while you are an admin - regedit should ask you to elevate.

Otherwise, to do it manually just simply right click the Windows key and select "New" and then "Key" and type "Installer"

And then create each sub value by right clicking "New" and then the appropriate value type.

Sorry if I've misunderstood your question and given overly basic information.

Ok, I finally got the "MSI-Verbose-Logging-ON.reg" (I needed to download it the correct way rather than just click on it).  So I double clicked "MSI-Verbose-Logging-ON.reg" and the registry key/subkeys are there.

I then attempted to reinstall "jxpiinstall.exe" and received the attached MSI Verbose Log (attached).

I found this registry entry... mean anything to you?

There is a DLL custom action that is supposed to complete the java install.

It fails and rolls back.

For some reason the rollback has problems completely removing files - so I'm wondering if there is some messed up permissions.

I advise you use add/remove programs to remove the current version.

Then use JavaRA (ELEVATED) to remove any remanants: http://singularlabs.com/software/javara/

I have not used JavaRA- but it looks like it's been around for a while.

It also looks like it can do an install of Java.  I'm not familiar with the benefits of installing Java with JavaRA versus the normal installer.

The same site has lists of uninstaller utilities that might come in handy. http://singularlabs.com/uninstallers/

Yesterday I uninstalled it.  That's why I am at Experts Exchange ... already tried reinstalling via JavaRa, but install failed one again.

This is a really complex problem.  I am having a Dell guy look at sometime via remote assistance, but I am not certain when.  I am guessing Monday October 1st.  Do you guys at EE.com do remote assistance... I have teamviewer already installed?  Let me know.

ARKMARK5000,
When you say you tried "reinstalling via JavaRA" did you FIRST uninstall using JavaRA ?

A cleanup uninstall will REMOVE things that might have bad permissions, etc. that the MSI rollback indicated it was not able to remove.

A "reinstall" over the existing mess will simply overwrite - and if there are bad permissions in the mix, then it will never clean that up when it rolls back.

No, we do not do remote control.  

Also, all problems must be solved on these threads so that all experts have an equal chance to help solve the problem.

"When you say you tried "reinstalling via JavaRA" did you FIRST uninstall using JavaRA ?"  Yes

No, we do not do remote control.  

"Also, all problems must be solved on these threads so that all experts have an equal chance to help solve the problem."  ok, just asking.

Please uninstall Java.  Use JavaRA to do an uninstall and then if it still exists, delete "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java" and all subfolders.

Also check the registry and remove any keys.  Here are instructions for that: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/manual_regedit.xml

Try a new install.

If this does not work, the next step would be to run Procmon during the install, I can analyze those logs as well.

Are you familiar with procmon.exe (http://live.sysinternals.com/procmon.exe) ?

Finished the above and reinstalled as promon was running.  What logs are needed and how do I located them?

If you have procmon with records, do File > Save.  Be sur to pick PML format and save all records.  Please zip them before uploading.

The log file (in a .zip) will not attach... it is 88mb.

I can upload to my file-host service and post the link here? Let me know?

You will need to request moderator attention to get it authorized.  Use the "request attention" button at the top of this page - right under your question.

Installing Java via a second admin account was successful...

But I need to know the program or programs that blocked the Java installation in my original admin account.

Well, Java is working for now and I really don't have the patients to fool around with this stuff right now and there does not seem to be a way to upload the PML, at least right now.

I appreciate your assistance and may revisit this issue sometime.
