Error installing JDK

Question

I got following error while installing JDK 1.7 on windows 8.

"Error 1335. The cabinet file 'st170510.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package."

I have downloaded latest version of JDK from oracle foundation. previously JDK 1.6 was installed on my pc. I uninstalled it and tried to install this version and met this error.

For further information, I have already installed JRE 1.7 on my system.

Error:

"Error 1335. The cabinet file 'st170510.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package."

is not because of Issue in JDK setup or as such.

Some of the reasons may be:

1. Some research suggests that this problem may arise because of bad RAM.

2. This is a Windows Installer error that may occur for different cabinet file names located on the installation media (usually on CD).

3. Can be caused by User Access Control.

4. Corrupted installer caused by a firewall or virus software running on your computer.

I think it has something to do with Windows "unblock" feature. (Rich click on file, select "unblock")

We had this issue before when we downloaded a Zip file, extracted an installed, and ran it - it failed - we had to unblock the file first - we also noticed that extracted elements were also "blocked" as well.

Java Install >>- On downloading using windows, file transfer speed was fast until the very end. then it seemed to stall. Any attempt to install from these files produced errors and a fail.

Fix >>- I then downloaded it using a MAC and then transferred the files back to the windows box and did the install again.

This time it was perfect - no errors - good install.
