Hello,

Configuration: Windows 7 / Chrome 43.0.2357.132

Java cannot be installed on my computer due to error code 1603.
I have already tried cleaning with CCleaner, but there must still be files from a previous installation.

How can I remove them in order to install Java without this error code?

Thank you.

    Hello,
    • Delete the "Java" folder (if it exists) in "C:\Program Files\" or "C:\Programmes\" depending on your version of Windows.
    • On CCleaner, did you delete the temporary files but also clean the registry?
    • Try reinstalling Java by downloading it from the link below.

      I did all that, but I still get the same error during reinstallation:
      "error: could not create the java virtual machine / error: a fatal exception has occurred. program will exit"

      Are there any other options to explore?

      Thank you for your help.
