Java Download For Windows 7 64 Bit Offline Installerl
Carmel Kittell
I noticed that there is an old Java 8 Update 241 installed and I thought that could be the problem, so I tried uninstalling that. The uninstall failed because it could not find the .msi file for the uninstall. The Java program folder is in the program files (x86) folder indicating that this is a 32 bit installation. So based upon another thread here on superuser, I went to the java archive site and downloaded the jre-8u241-windows-i586.exe file which is the same release. The idea is to install it and then uninstall it to get rid of the old version. I tried to install but it failed because the install folder already existed. So then I renamed the install folder. Tried again and it stopped on error 1638 that indicates that there is already a version installed and it can't install over it. At some point in there it got through to the "remove old version" procedure which it went through and then announced the number of old versions removed was "0" and that the old versions remaining consisted of Java 8 Update 241. (sorry, can no longer remember the order in which that piece showed up.)
JMRI also supports an offline installation - to set up, refer to the Offline Installation section below.
The JMRI project is continuously adding features, bug fixes, examples and tutorials to the release, and sonew "Test" versions appear every couple of weeks. You may find one of these has features that you really want.These are announced in the JMRI users Groups.io group.
- Run the JMRI installer
When the JMRI download is ready, you will be asked to either save it to disk or directly run the installer.
[NOTE: illustrations below are not all from the same release, but should be similar to what you see.] - Installer start-up
- Check for a previous version
It will then check to see if a previous version of JMRI exists, backup any Preference, Roster and other settings and, if necessary, uninstall the old JMRI version.
You may choose to have the installer make a backup of the existing files, and provide a location on disk for this set.
- In some circumstances, the removal of JMRI version 2.5.1 or earlier might fail, resulting in a messageUninstaller failed
In such cases, it is necessary to download and run the following file and then re-run the installer:
RemoveOldJMRIUninstallEntry.exe - Choose Users If supported by your Windows version and depending on the permissions of your user, the installer may ask you to choose to install JMRI just for yourself or for all users of the computer.
- Choose Components The installer will now present a list of the components to be installed.
This will install JMRI to the default location, place shortcuts for DecoderPro and PanelPro on the desktop and create a JMRI Start Menu folder containing shortcuts for typically used JMRI programs. If you wish to change where JMRI is installed, change the install type from 'Typical' to 'Custom (select to choose program folder)' using the drop-down menu. - Choose Install Location
The next screen suggests a place for the install.
- Choose Start Menu Folder
The following screens lets you choose a place for JMRI in your Start menu.
- Check for Java
The installer will check for a suitable version of Java on your computer and, if required, will alert you to which version of Java should be installed. For example, although these messages may change based on the version of JMRI you are attempting to install.
See the tables above for information about which Java is currently recommended for your version of JMRI and see the JMRI Java Recommendations page for information about downloading Java. - Install files
Once existence of a suitable Java Runtime Environment has been confirmed, it will then install the needed libraries, plus add a "JMRI" program group to your Start menu and put shortcuts to the DecoderPro and PanelPro programs on your desktop.
Click Next. - Installation is complete
Or suppose you want all features to be installed; you only want to register the Plug-in with Internet Explorer; you want the installation on the D drive at java\jre; and you want to do a Windows Offline Installation. Then the command line would be: jre-1_5_0-bin-b99-windows-i586-12_aug_2003.exe /s /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=ALL IEXPLORER=1 INSTALLDIR=D:\java\jre"
