Java Problems! · DIGIT-ARC

A

Hey people, I have a Genuine Win 7 Home Premium 32-bit on my laptop.
For learning and using Java, I was recommended to download the latest Java Development Kit(JDK) from the Java(Oracle) website itself. So I downloaded - "Windows (x86) jdk-7u21-windows-i586.exe" , which technically should be comopatible with my system.
But on running the setup, Windows gives the following message-
"C:\Users\...(address here)...\jdk-7u21-windows-i586.exe is not a valid Win32 application."
What do I do?
Thanks.

you'l have to download the "i564" version because you have a 32 bit OS, "i586" is for 64 bit OS..

^^ Isn't i386 the 32-bit edition? Btw his installer name starts with Windows (x86)
Probably the installer is corrupt. Try downloading the setup again.
Usually the error comes when you try installing a 64 bit software on a 32 bit system, but in your case, you've got the correct version.

Yes, the installer is corrupt, that error is regarding the same.

@ OP - like the others said the downloaded setup file is corrupt which is a common issue using browsers .. so next time download the setup file using a good download manager and also make sure your pc is free from any kind of virus/trojan which can corrupt setup files.

^^ Buy it! No piracy in the forum posts.
Or check out download accelerator plus or free download manager.

use IDM enjoy 30days then use revo uninstaller and uninstall and install again.
correct version for your OS: *download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u21-b11/jdk-7u21-windows-i586.exe

Use free download manager, its almost equally good.

there's lots of free download manager / browser addons available. It's about time you use some real freeware or open source softwares/apps .. do check out the freeware thread on the forum.
