Good Day Gurus in the house. I have being trying to install Java on my laptop. The java was there before but it get corrupted. So reinstalling Java online and offline is giving me error "The wizard was interrupted before Java (TM) 7 update 5 could be completely installed". Can somebody help me

confirm that your jdk has been uninstalled from control panel. Then try again. If you experience the same problem, get a new .exec file cos yours may be corrupt. Hope you can set the class path or modify your system variable so your compiler can interface your command prompt?

Please aw can i do the interfacing?

You have to install the jdk first. Having done that, there are two methods you could use to set the class path variable. I will put you through on how to set it temporarily ie you will have to set it again when ever you boot your system after a shutdown. The second method wouldn't require you to reset it again expect you format your system. But that may lead to more complication since you don't have supervision.
Now go to directory in which you saved your jdk. You should see two folders, one a jdk 1.bla bla bla and the other jre6 or so, depending on the installed version. Open the jdk folder and you will see some other folders. Look for the "bin" folder there and open it too. After that copy the address at the address bar. With win XP, type "cmd" on the run utility or just type command on the start menu search text field and launch the command prompt. Type "set classpath=" and hit the enter key. Now on the next line type "set path=" then right click and paste the copied directory. Hit the enter button and close the command prompt. Reopen the command prompt and type java -version and hit the enter to view details of the installed jdk and you are good to go.
