Java not installing

Post by wmmiller »

Hi Fred,

Using beta version 7.0.0.3. I went to install Java on a fresh install of Windows 8.1 x64 and it downloaded JavaInstall(x64) only and doesn’t install it. :shock:

Thanks Bill.

UVK gets the updated download links from this page:
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

The html code of that page was recently changed, so it was not working anymore. I fixed it, but it won't be working until the next release, because it is hard coded.

In the meantime you can download the installers from that page, or create a third party app that does it for you.
One thing we humans have in common is that we are all different. So, if you think you're weird because you're different from everyone else, then we are all weird.

Thanks Fred. I did go ahead and download it and got it installed. I kind of thought it may be a link issue. I knew you would want to know something was up. Have a great day! :)

I have the same problem with a couple of my scripts. Have not had time to update them yet.

Hey guys.

It should be working fine in the new beta.
