At several points in the download and installation process, pop-up windows will request information or permission from you to proceed. The steps below walk you through the process. The numbered steps mark what action is required by you and guide you on how to proceed. The unnumbered steps mark the automatic action taken by your computer.
- You may download the JRE installation package manually from the
following web page:
Please click on the "Save" button when prompted. It is saved at C:\ by default. After the file has been saved to your hard drive successfully, you can double-click on its icon to run the installer.
Note: you must have administrative permission in order to install the JRE on Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP.
- After reading the agreement, click the "Yes" button to accept its terms and continue with the installation.
- The installer then displays a "Setup Type" screen that allows you to choose either a typical or custom setup. We recommend that you choose the "Typical" option (the default selection) unless you are an advanced user who wants more precise control over the components that will be installed.
- After ensuring that the "Typical" setup is selected, click the "Next" button to continue with the installation. Now that you have given the installer all of the information it needs to proceed, progress boxes track the installation process.
- A few brief dialogs confirm the last steps of the installation process, and a concluding message appears with the confirmation "Installation Completed OK."
