try the tricks given here below as they can fix your case and help you complete
the installation:
- Check for the error-code and fix the issue immediately to complete the Java Installation.
- The online installation requires strong network connectivity. But if your internet is not so great, try using the offline installer for your Windows
- Use the 32-bit version rather than using the 64-bit version for a 32-bit operating system. Although, 64-bit version is a wise choice for 64-bit Windows
- Use the administrative rights to install Java on Windows 7 or Windows 8. For this, you need to download the office installer first, and then save it to an empty folder on the hard disk. Open the executable file by clicking-right and select Run as Administrator from the shortcut menu.
- User Account Control usually creates hindrance while installing Java on your Windows and hence temporarily disabling can do the trick.
- Antivirus usually interrupts the installation or update process, hence disabling it during the installation can be quite a helpful trick.
