I've tried a couple of times to instal Java on my Vista machine. I get the error message "Error applying transforms. Verify that the verified transform paths are valid".

Then a second message "1.6.0/jre - 6ul - windows - i586 - jc.xpi failed with -203"

It happens when I use Firefox or IE7 so it is not browser related What does this mean? I thought Java was Vista compatible and the lack of it has caused me a difficulties on a couple of websites.

I am using Kaspersky Internet Security, would this cause a problem?

I'd like to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like his passengers

Have you tried to install the latest Java Runtime Environment? (Version 6, Update 1 available for free from here: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp ) Is Java/JavaScript enabled in your browser? If so, what pages do you get the errors on? My Vista has Java enabled on both IE7 and FireFox.

Have you done this to install Java?

Click the "Download" button to the right.
Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement".
The page will refresh.
Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java.
Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java versions.
Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
Then from your desktop double-click on jre-6u1-windows-i586-p.exe to install the newest version.

Well I don't know what happened on previous occasions, obviously it did not instal properly but I went through the download and manual instal routine yet again and this time it worked. So thanks for the advice :huh:
