This program installed correctly.

I tried the first option but nothing happened. Even no other windows popup with error message. I tried troubleshot with help message but nothing worked.

What could be my problem. Please help me to install the JDK 8.

Answer 1

It might have installed correct ..set the path variable to jav installed bin path & java_home to java directory installed

and try running the command

java -version

Answer 2

As a first step, reboot the system and try installing JDK 8u101 (32-bit) again. Sometimes, a failed install/uninstall attempt could lead to this state with stale registries. Also, make sure that you have downloaded this from the correct web site: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
