Cannot successfully install Java V7 update 51 on Windows 7 machine
I am running Windows 7. I installed directly from java.com; I have tried this a number of times now with the same result. Most recently, I uninstalled Java first, then rebooted my computer. I ran the debugger while running the test Java page at Java.com. Note: I am not a programmer (although I did do some scientific programming many years ago in Fortran; I have not learned any object-oriented languages). I am also getting very frustrated
I get an application error, General Exception, Name: JUT, NullPointerException: null.
In the Java console I see the following errors (I have left out a lot of intervening stuff but can include it if that will help):
java.net.SocketException: Address family not supported by protocol family: connect (this occurs twice)
com.sun.deploy.net.FailedDownloadException: Unable to load resource: Java Uninstall Applet Caused by: java.net.SocketException: Address family not supported by protocol family: connect
