Hi everyone,

some time ago I have noticed that Java updates after jre1.8.0_51 are not possible to install on my WinXP. I tried also the standalone msi file,but then it prompts an issue with the MS installer.

Any idea if there is a workaround/fix for this on WinXP?

Thanks.

Java 8 was not originally designed with Windows XP in mind, and the earliest installers actually failed on it.

Java 8 Update 25 included a fix to allow it to install on XP: https://blogs.oracle.com/henrik/entry/the_future_of_java_on

Do you have Service Pack 3 installed? I experience no issues running the installer on XP Professional. The installer recommends a new Windows version, but it is not required: https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/winxp.xml

"Can I still install the latest Java on Windows XP? I see the message Java 8 requires a newer version of Windows. You may continue with the installation, but for Java to work as specified we recommend upgrading your computer's operating system.

Yes. As noted, users may still continue to use Java 8 on Windows XP at their own risk, but we can no longer provide complete guarantees for Java on Windows XP, since the OS is no longer being updated by Microsoft."

I always recommend the offline installer; I've experienced issues in the past with the online installer.

Don't know if this will help with getting a working version (Archives) -
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-javase8-2177648.html

I have U40 of the JRE but can't remember if I installed it. It's in a folder named "v8 WinXP+" (I keep the Major Versions separated and which OS they work on).

SP3 I have on my system, so no problem with that. I never had a problem with Java 8 instalation up to update 51 like I mentioned. Offline instalations I used all the time. The issue is with the Java updates that come after update 51, example the update 77 like I posted on the screenshot.The installer normally starts but does not finish for an unknown reason and gives this error message.

Looks like U51 (according to you) may be the last one Oracle is going to allow XP to install then. You're aware that MS (and everyone else) wants it (and Vista) to die a horrible death, right? Unless the MSI can be "hacked". :unsure:

The problem you are having is error code 1722: https://www.java.com/en/download/help/error_1722.xml

I would try the Java uninstaller to remove all traces of Java on your system, and then try installing it again: https://java.com/en/download/faq/uninstaller_toolinfo.xml

Nope, if I'll try the Java Offline installer then I got 1603 error.If I try just the standalone msi file then it prompts that error with installer what I posted above.

I already tried to uninstall, remove all crap by JavaRa, but all what I can install is the update 51 and not the latest, dunno why.

Which version of MSI (Microsoft / Windows Installer) do You have on Your system? If the answer is 3.x then try updating MSI to 4.5 and install all latest security updates for MSI 4.5

The MSI version is 4.5.6001.22159 as I check.

I went through the log files and find some intersting parts.Since my WinXP is in CZ language, I will have to translate some specific errors.

This log comes when I run the normal java offline installer:

I have attached the log file from the msi, if somebody want's to take a deeper look.

Seems this problem is deeper than I expected.

With all of the errors in the log you posted, it sounds like you have a Windows problem and not a Java problem.

It might be a good time to save all your work and install a fresh copy of Windows!

Yeah, and explain then why I can install update 51 without any problem.

Uhm... Just try to run a check disk first CHKDSK C: /F /R and let it finish. After that, IF you are using a normal version of Win XP SP3, try sfc / scannow. Then, try to install Java again. If it's a windows related problem, these things should fix it. Personally, I don't know. I mean, I installed the latest version of Java two days ago and it worked. Try to disable your antivirus as well, while trying to install it.

SFC I have to run,when I have my WinXP installation CD around,since prompts for it.The chkdsk with /f founds no issue, but with /r takes a lot of time,so I post more info when all done.
