java installer error - can't proceed with current internet Connection Settings

[daizychainz]

As title implies, trying to update Java, recieving following error ....... installer can't proceed with current internet settings.

I have had this once before on another computer I was using, am sure I altered proxy settings or something, anyway whatever I did last time I can't seem to do it again ...... so typical of me!

Anyway any help with this would be greatfully recieved.

Many Thanks

Hi, Thanks for the reply.

I very much doubt the Java is up to date as this computer has not been used for some time.

Anyway I followed your link and in the box where it usually says whether you are up to date or not I got Error. Click for details.....So I did......Got the following message:

The application failed to run. There was an error executing the application. Click details for more information.....So I clicked details.....a window popped up containing the following information....

So.....any ideas?

Remove old versions first, using JavaRa.

Download JavaRa to your desktop and unzip it to its own folder

• Run JavaRa.exe (Vista users! Right click on JavaRa.exe, click Run As Administrator), pick the language of your choice and click Select. Then click Remove Older Versions.
  
• Accept any prompts.

Then, go here: http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
Download offline version and install it.

[daizychainz]

Thanks again for your response, I am in the middle of doing that now.

I was just wondering if the offline Java version will only work with offline applications.

You see I am trying to use an online backup facility that I signed up to and it is telling me I need latest version of Java installed. Is this going work for that?

[Broni]

if the offline Java version will only work with offline applications

No.
When you opt for online Java installation, it downloads only a small file and it downloads the rest during installation process.
Since you're having some issues, we opted for offline installation.
In that case, you download a whole installation file and install Java online. You don't have to worry about any connection issues anymore, once the file got downloaded.

Java installed successfully, Many Thanks for your help.

Kind Regards
