I am trying to download and install Java. Halfway through the installation I get the error message 25099 - I have tried everything I can think of including reading a number of online tips all to no avail.
One answer was to delete Java which doesn't exist on my computer because I can't install it - and reinstall it!. I feel as though I am going round in circles.
I have Windows XP Pro and recently reinstalled all my software after a boot problem which is why I need to reinstal java.
How can you reinstall and install the java software if it does'nt exist in your system,right? Read the information below which I researched for you. This addresses you in your problem. Don't forget to rate me..:-) Thanks..
