I am getting this error half way through install (error 25099. Unzipping core files failed.)

Just wondering if anyone can help me out, i also tried the walk troughs from adobe but had no luck as of yet!

Thanks in advance

Adobe does Java? What exactly are you trying to install? If it's Java get it from Sun again.

Sorry, it was java from Sun Microsystems...

My mistake

Any ideas..

Try redownloading a fresh copy.

I downloaded a copy from filehippo.com and also tried softpedia.com and am still getting the same error message.

You might want to install Windows Installer 4.5 and as mentioned download Java from Sun's website, not a mirror.

Can not seem to get windows installer for vista, all files i download i get error messages

The update does not apply to your system

&

The version of windows you have installed does not match the update you are trying to install...

I am running Windows Vista SP1

Uninstall all Java and via Task Manager kill the jqs.exe process. - http://java.com/en/download/help/error_25099.xml

Java is not showing up in add remove programs, i also cannot find jqs.exe process within task manager...

Still getting same error message when i try and install...

Check your Event Viewer for Windows Installer error logs and please post them.

The current version of the Java Runtime is no longer 14.

However,

(1) The Java forums (http://forums.java.net) have had this solution posted for just over a year:

I would make sure the %ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\ and %APPDATA%\Sun\Java\jre1.6.0_10\ directories are empty.

Are any of the Java files still in use? Try rebooting or using ProcessExplorer to find files that are still running out of the jre6 directory.

(2) Also on the Java forums, about 9 months ago, an explanation of the Java file that is stil in use:

I solved the problem by killing the task

jqs.exe

Which was still running as service despite a complete uninstall of all java plugins

(3) Use JavaRa to uninstall all old Java versions and reboot. The JavaRa forum is right here, at Lunarsoft.
