Java Update Download Problems

Hello,
I am in desperate need of help. My on-line baking uses Java so I can upload my checks for deposit, and now I need to download the latest version of Java. Every time I try download the update I get and error code 1503. I have tried several ways to get the update to download but so far nothing has worked. I am running Windows 7, and I am current with all Window updates. I have a Dell computer with a AMD Phenom 9650 Quad-Core Processor 2.30 GHz, Installed Memory 4.00 GB, and a 64-bit operating system.
Do you have any ideas that I can try.

Thanks for the help, but to no avail. I followed your instructions to the letter and I still get the error code 1603. I then removed google chrome, and that didn't help, then I removed anything relating to Java from from the registery (using regedit) that didn't help either. Are there any other ideas that I can try.

Thanks for your help.

Error 1503 is a Windows file system error. Right-click the C: drive, click Properties, click Tools. By default, the first box will be checked. Click Start and restart the PC.

 

Thanks again for the tip. I have attached a copy of the sfc /scannow repair log. Since I don't have another computer how would I go about finding a known good copy of the system file from another computer that is running the same version of Windows with your computer.

Could you please help me with this?

I finished running my Windows 7 system disk windows repair feature and everything looked good according to the repair message. I just tried installing Java and I am still getting the 1603 error message. Other than a clean reinstall, do you have nay other suggestions?

Thanks for your help,

Thanks for your help and all of your suggestions. I did find an suggestion online and that was to download V7 and when I did that, the down load went perfectly fine and then when I check to see what Version I had, low and behold, I ended up with V8.25. Everything works fine now. "Who would have THHUNK."
Thanks again, All of you guys are Great and I appreciate the website.

BTW, can you open Command Prompt?
As per your sfcdetails.txt... "cmd.exe" file is missing; source file in store is also corrupted.

 

I can open command prompt, but what am I supposed to do. I ran my system dick in repair mode and nothing was repaired.

 

You're not suppose to do anyhting. I merely asked because as per your sfcdetails.txt cmd.exe is missing and the source file is corrupted.

If everything is fine now, leave it.

 

Thanks, I don't know anyone that is friendly enough to ask to use their computer to copy the files that are missing. Do you have any other suggestions.

 

I'm running Windows 7 32-bit, therefore I can't help you. Hopefully someone who's running Windows 7 64-bit can zip and send you the file(s) you need.

 

What I have is the Windows Professional installation disk. But I don't want to have to do a clean reinstall. I found someone at work that have Windows Home Edition and said he is willing to let me copy files if they will work. What do you think, will the files from Windows 7 Home Edition work? And how do I find the files on his machine?

If everything is fine and you can open Command Prompt, what do you want to repair?

If you repair Windows 7, you need the same version on DVD as you have installed on your PC. Here is a link to detailed instructions. Follow them word for word. You wont loose your programs or files, but it's always recommended to backup your files before a repair.
