These are the easiest ways to install and update Java on your device, but if you encounter something that is preventing you from installing and updating, then try the following tricks as they may fix your case and help you complete the installation:

  1. Check the error code and fix the problem immediately to complete the Java installation.
  2. Online installation requires strong network connectivity. But if your internet is not that great then try using offline installer for your Windows
  3. Use the 32-bit version instead of using the 64-bit version for a 32-bit operating system. Although, the 64-bit version is a good choice for 64-bit Windows.
  4. Use administrative rights to install Java on Windows 7 or Windows 8. For this, you must first download the Office installer, and then save it to an empty folder on your hard drive. Open the executable file by right-clicking it and select Run as administrator from the context menu.
  5. User Account Control usually creates a hurdle while installing Java on your Windows and thus temporary disabling might do the trick.
  6. Antivirus usually interrupts the installation or update process, so disabling it during installation can be quite a useful trick.
