Macrovision’s InstallAnywhere Voted Best Java Installation Tool in Java Developer’s Journal Readers’ Choice Awards.

This guide describes the steps for installing Xamarin.Android for Visual Studio on Windows, and it explains how to configure Xamarin.Android for building your first Xamarin.Android application. Overview Because Xamarin is now included with all editions of Visual Studio at no extra cost and does not require a separate license, you can use the Visual Studio installer to download and install Xamarin.Android tools. (The manual installation and licensing steps that were required for earlier versions of Xamarin.Android are no longer necessary.) In this guide, you will learn the following: • How to configure custom locations for the Java Development Kit, Android SDK, and Android NDK. • How to launch the Android SDK Manager to download and install additional Android SDK components. • How to prepare an Android device or emulator for debugging and testing.

• How to create your first Xamarin.Android app project. By the end of this guide, you will have a working Xamarin.Android installation integrated into Visual Studio, and you will be ready to start building your first Xamarin.Android application. Installation For detailed information on installing Xamarin for use with Visual Studio on Windows, see the guide.

Configuration Xamarin.Android uses the Java JDK and the Android SDK to build apps. During installation, the Visual Studio installer places these tools in their default locations and configures the development environment with the appropriate path configuration. You can view and change these locations by clicking Tools >Options >Xamarin >Android Settings: For most users these default locations will work without further changes. However, you may wish to configure Visual Studio with custom locations for these tools (for example, if you have installed the Java JDK, Android SDK, or NDK in a different location). Click Change next to a path that you want to change, then navigate to the new location. Android SDK Manager Android uses multiple Android API level settings to determine your app's compatibility across the various versions of Android (for more information about Android API levels, see ).

Depending on what Android API level(s) you want to target, you may need to download and install additional Android SDK components. In addition, you may need to install optional tools and emulator images provided in the Android SDK. To do this, use the Android SDK Manager.

You can launch the Android SDK Manager by clicking Tools >Android >Android SDK Manager: By default, Visual Studio installs the Google Android SDK Manager: You can use the Google Android SDK Manager to install versions of the Android SDK Tools package up to version 25.2.3. However, if you need to use a later version of the Android SDK Tools package, you must install the Xamarin Android SDK Manager plugin for Visual Studio (available from the Visual Studio Marketplace). This is necessary because Google's standalone SDK Manager was deprecated in version 25.2.3 of the Android SDK Tools package. For more information about using the Xamarin Android SDK Manager, see. Android Emulator If you don't have a physical Android device to use for testing, you can use an Android emulator to test your app. For more information about the Google Android emulator, see.

The Google Android emulator uses Intel's HAXM (Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager), which can conflict with the virtualization technologies used by other emulators. The three main virtualization technologies are: • Hyper-V (used by the Visual Studio Emulator for Android and the Windows Phone emulator) • Virtual Box (used by Genymotion) • Intel HAXM (used by the Google Android SDK emulator) Because a development computer's CPU can support only one virtualization technology at a time, it's best to have only one in use on a development computer. Android Device If you have a physical Android device to use for testing, this is a good time to set it up for development use. See to configure your Android device for development, then connect it to your computer for running and debugging Xamarin.Android applications. Create an Application Now that you have installed Xamarin.Android, you can launch Visual Studio create a new project. Click File >New >Project to begin creating your app: In the New Project dialog, select Android under Templates and click Blank App (Android) in the right pane. Enter a name for your app (in the screenshot below, the app is called MyApp), then click OK: That's it!

Now you are ready to use Xamarin.Android to create Android applications! Summary In this article, you learned how to set up and install the Xamarin.Android platform on Windows, how to (optionally) configure Visual Studio with custom Java JDK and Android SDK installation locations, how to launch the SDK Manager to install additional Android SDK components, how to setup an Android device or emulator, and how to start building your first application. The next step is to have a look at the tutorials to learn how to create a working Xamarin.Android app.

Thank you, yes I have tried the manual download and no, there aren't any versions of java on the machine at this point. If I try running the java installer I get 'object already exists'. If I try installing to an alternate folder I get a message that indicates all the processes that need to be stopped for it to install and if I proceed I get BSOD because it literally stops all processes. If I try ninite installer I get error 1603.

If I try running the microsoft fixit tool I get a fatal error. It has been very frustrating.

At this point I'm considering an OS reinstall but that will involve alot of reinstalls and updates because of various software on the system. I don't know that a re-install will solve this issue as it appears to be a pretty widespread issue With this JAVA Version. I am working on a customers Dell Inspiron 1525 Vista 32 bit that has the same issue. IE 9 Java Install Error, Java download packages jre-7u67-windows-i586. Esprits Criminels Saison 9 Complete Torrent on this page. exe and JavaSetup7u67.exe. Error Message 'Object Already Exists'.

Java Uninstalled from system, Checked Registry & removed all entries for it No luck. Ran install as administrator no joy. Tried uninstaller no joy, Tried Installing Java in different Folder C:/Program Files/JAVA6_7/JRE7 that I created no joy.

I Have Googled this Issue and there seems to be many with same issue but no real solution. Have tried System UPDATE Readtness Tool Windows6.0-KB947821-v34-x86. Windows Fix-it Install/Uninstall, No Malware on System (there was some previously but that was removed) this issue started when I was updating Windows, Shockwave, Flash, Acrobat Reader & Java With some of the same issue present for them. Perpetual Geek In Training.

Resolving Error 1603 You can’t solve this error unless you have a general idea of what is causing it. However, most of us aren’t tech wizards, so we can do quite a bit through process of elimination first before things get too technical. Start by installing the program you’ve been having trouble with on a different drive. For example, if you’re installing the program on one of your two hard drives, simply try installing it on the other. Before you do that, however, uninstall the program so that there isn’t a corrupted version from your previous attempts that might go on to cause problems for you.

Once uninstalled, you’ll be working with a blank slate. Try installing the program on another hard drive or in a different folder on your computer.

To Know More go to this link: http://answer.techbuddiesonline.com/view_page.php?mid=7&&sid=15. This fixed my problem: I wanted to point out the fix I ran into with this exact problem. It appears KB2918614 broke the Windows Installer Service. Go to your Windows Update History and remove that update (it will have been installed near the time you began having this problem). Then reboot and try again. If this fixes it.

Hide this windows update until Microsoft comes up with a fix for it. Randomly ran into this issue with a brand new java install (java was never on the machine before). This resolved it. After looking on countless forums trying to solve the 'error 1603' when trying to install the latest java (8.25) I have found a solution for me personally (using windows 8.1). Go to Control Panel -->System and Security -->Windows Update (4th on the list) 2. Before installing any current updates, click on the 'Check for updates' on the left side of the window.

This will check for anymore since its last check for updates. Now you can install anything Windows has to offer. My update which fixed this was KB2995388. 4.Now you can attempt to install java.

Hope this works for you. I was trying to install Java on a newly setup computer Windows 7. I uninstalled the KB update per the recommendations above and still got the error. Ended up having to download and install a previous version of Java, version 8u20 (the newest version is 8u25, which seems to cause the problem). Here's the link: Scroll down to 'Java SE Runtime 8u20' and select the appropriate version for Windows.

You have to create an Oracle account first to get the download. Since most of us on this forum are not third-level advanced programmers with the time or skills to troubleshoot why something like this is happening, I am hoping this bit of advice will at least help others get up-and-running asap. Update 11-18-14: There is a thread on the Oracle support website about this very problem with Java 8U25 and Windows.

It has been running since September and has about a dozen posts from others who are having the problem, but no answers have been offered. I don't know if Oracle support isn't reading the posts, or has simply washed their hands of it. I've seen 'fixes' suggested that run the full range from: deleting specific Microsoft updates, using the Java uninstall tool, run Java install manually, check various registry settings, etc. I've tried all of them with no success.

It's always worrisome when there is this 'scattershot' approach to an issue like this, because all it really says is that nobody knows for sure what is causing the issue. I have also had non stop headaches with this for the past 4 days now. I originally had Java v7 on my machine (windows 8.1), which I had updated from time to time with no issues. However recently I tried to remove this and update to java 8u25 because a java app I was using needed this version.

However I instantly got the '1603' error with no other explanation. The files appear in my folders (regardless of whether I use the 32 or 64 bit version) but the program does nothing. It is not detected in any of my browsers and none of my Java programs will work. After several hours of trying various fixes - full uninstall, deleting ALL files related to Java everyone on my computer, cleaning my registry thoroughly, using JavaRa, calling Microsoft support for walk-throughs (I declined to use the paid premium service, I don't want some stranger in India to have full control of my computer), I finally decided to give up and just roll back to version 7 of Java. However now even that won't work.

When trying to install any of the Java 7 versions, I don't get the 1603 error but nothing detects Java anywhere. No web browsers, no apps, no programs, nothing, NOTHING recognizes that Java is on my machine, even though the installer said that it had succeeded. When I try to use the Java verification tool from Oracle's website, my browser crashes to desktop. Some sites recommend changing things in the Java Control Panel, but this does not appear to exist. I use my search function for Java Control Panel and get nothing. So I open up the /bin folder in Java to manually access the Javacpl.exe file, try to open as Admin, different compatibility modes, etc, but literally nothing happens when I double click on ANY of the.exe files in the Java folder.

I've tried it all. I have probably scoured about 100 different web pages with variations of these errors and nothing works. I've run full virus scans of my computer, full Malware scans (I've just paid 30 dollars for a Malware scanner which did manage to quarantine a few files but still didn't solve the problem), used CCleaner to not only clean my registry after every failed install attempt but also completely flushed all my drives of useless files, temporary files, wiped empty disk space, all of it. I am at wits' end here.

I am not a computer tekkie but I usually do fairly well with my problems. I have plenty of computer common sense and a sharp eye for finding fixes to all my issues.

I have a lot of practice modding my games (i.e. Skyrim, Oblivion, GTA etc) and a LOT of things go very, very wrong and it takes a keen eye for detail to fix a lot of the problems that come up. However this problem has me completely stumped and utterly frustrated. I only ever post on tech support forums like this as a last resort.

Well here I am at my last resort. I don't know what to do anymore, other than completely reinstall my entire OS, which seems to me to be killing a fly with a sledgehammer. At this point I barely even give a rat's ass about Java anymore, but I have at least 3 programs that need it in order to function, so I am stuck wasting my free time scouring the net for fixes that never work. If anyone can help with this, PLEASE do. It would be greatly appreciated. I had the same problem on Windows 2008 R2 servers with Citrix Xenapp installed. The solution for me was not to delete any KB's at all.

I uninstalled the old Java version, installed the failed one from Java.com and when the error 1603 arriwed, i just clicked ok. After that, i could see in controlpanel that the Java icon was there, and i could open Java. But when i looked in programs and features, java was not installed. Restarted the server in safe mode, and deleted all about Java in program files / program files (x86) Restarted the server.

Now i was able to install Java 8 update 25 directly from Java.com I'm so tired of Java:-(. I had the same problem on Windows 2008 R2 servers with Citrix Xenapp installed.

Thanks to CJ Goggin, what finally installed properly is 'jre-8u11-windows-i586.exe' I have tried and FAILED doing the following: Install jre version 6u22, 6u25, 6u45, 7u51, 8u20, 8u25.

Install using local administrator account Uninstall all jre Upgrade internet explorer 8 to internet explorer 9 Tried closing java application or service. But there is none. Try closing Java Control Panel. But it is not installed.

Download install used JavaRa Delete /programs files/java Disconnect laptop from company network cclean registry scan for malware IE9 ->Internet Options ->Security ->Custom Level ->Scripting of Java applets (Disable then Enable) Win7 ->Control Panel ->Program and Features ->View installed updates ->Uninstall Windows update KB2918614 Download install msi editor. Open /users/admin/appdata/locallow/sun/java/jre*/*.msi. Edit out '#' from table ->media ->#data1.cab. This 'disable/install (with message about not enabled)/enable' process also allowed me to complete the 8_u31 install on two Win7prox64 laptops which were failing with the 1603 error.

This leads me to think that this would indicate a possible different update by MS, related to changing/updating Add-Ons in IE11 - the Java installer is failing when trying to replace the IE Add-On's with a newer version? This would seem like a setting which could be programmatically controlled by the Java Installer, to avoid the error.can someone flag the conversation over at Java/Sun/Oracle to let them know/investigate?

I've had problems using LogMeIn to install the Java updates - (I will try locally on a couple of these later and see if it makes a difference) - but I have the same problems installing Java version 8 updates without running the remote software. Java 8 has been nothing but a headache for me. And they don't seem to have any interest in solving the problem. There are no workable solutions for the 1603 install error on their site. The forums had several people complaining, and they only have paid tech support to help with the issue listed on their site - those people don't even work for Oracle.

From a networking perspective, if anyone is trying to install this software remotely via a platform like LogMeIn or Teamviewer it is rare that you will successfully install. Try instead to remote desktop into the problematic machine and install from the web or offline. That was the one factor that prevented me from updating a remote system. I suspected it and then looked it up to see that LogMeIn falls back on Java as does TeamViewer. So remote installs are not probable. They are possible though.

I have had 25% success and 75% failure upgrading from v6_45 to v8. Good luck!!!!! I do a-lot of remote IT support using LogMeIn, and can confirm this was my issue.

I tried literally everything and I finally figured out that when upgrading from Java 7 to 8 (any version), simply put, you can’t (in some cases) install Java updates while using LogMeIn to do it. The easiest way to update is to first remove the old version (so the installer doesn’t try and do it and hit you with more prompts during the install), then right when the install kicks off after asking you to load Ask toolbar, just close the LMI session, count to 60 and login to see it’s successfully installed! Even though this make no sense at all because LMI does not need Java, that’s the sum of it. This resolved the 1603 install error for me, and allowed me to still install it via LMI.

To expand on wolfeee99's comment- This is what worked for me: * Close the installer when you see Java error 1603 * Open javacpl.exe from C: Program Files (x86) Java jre1.8.0_31 bin * Uncheck Enable Java content in browser on security tab and click OK to close Java control panel * Retry installing Java. Mine succeeded this time. * Open javacpl.exe from C: Program Files (x86) Java jre1.8.0_31 bin * Check Enable Java content in browser on security tab and click OK to close Java control panel Yep this fixed it! Thanks heaps!!! Oracle needs to document this!!

I lost the better part of a day today trying to install Java 8 update 45 on a Windows 7 SP1 32-bit machine. I tried a number of suggestions above and at other sites. RSCorpMike's answer did the trick!

I ran it under the local Administrator account: * Install Java, then click Close when you get to the 1603 error message. * Navigate to javacpl.exe in C: Program Files Java jre1.8.0_40 bin * Uncheck 'Enable Java content in browser.' Click Okay to close Java Control Panel. * Rerun the JavaSetup exe from the location to which you downloaded and saved it. Otherwise, download again from Java.com.

Run installation. Hopefully it succeeds for you. It will notify you that Java content in browser has been disabled. * Open the Java Control Panel (I did it through Windows Control Panel) and click 'Enable Java content in browser' again. Click Okay to close Java Control Panel. This is what fixed it for me. I tried uninstalling update KB2918614 but the java install still did not work and again failed with the 1603 error.

I had no previous version of java installed as seen from the Control Panel Installed Programs list. However, I noticed in my environment variable list I had 'JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-agentlib:jvmhook' and '_JAVA_OPTIONS=-Xrunjvmhook -Xbootclasspath/a:C: PROGRA~2 HP QUICKT~1 bin JAVA_S~1 classes;C: PROGRA~2 HP QUICKT~1 bin JAVA_S~1 classes jasmine.jar' set. It looks like these came from the HP QuickTestPro install where java testing was enabled. I renamed those variables with a '_BAK' at the end (there are 2 system and 1 user) and this allowed the java install to complete successfully. This is what fixed it for me.

I tried for hours to fix this issue and just happened to come upon a Youtube spanish video (I don't speak spanish) but I watched and here is what they did and it worked for me. During the install you have the option to 'change destination folder' I changed it to C: Program Files (x86) Java2 jre1_80_60'. I assume you could create whatever directory you want.

You will have to create the folders after you check mark change destination and click install during the process. Continue with the install after and it installed and verified for me. This worked for both the 32 bit and 64 bit version 8U60. Hope this helps someone. Hi, I finally found a solution after bashing my head all day.

I did the KB291xxxx removal, completely clean installs over and over, enabled and disabled in the java control panel without luck. I came across this answer in one of the Error 1603 archives on the Oracle blog: >I have been facing this issue for several months.

Luckily it hasn't been critical to my work - more of a nagging annoyance. I tried all the different solutions offered across the Web without success. Then finally I stumbled on a solution that worked for me.

I haven't seen it suggested anywhere else so I thought I had better sign up for an Oracle account so I can post here. I expect it is rather unique but just in case it helps anyone else. Looking at the log generated by user4854254 suggestion here: I noticed that the evocation of cmd.exe was generating an error message. The cause was a long forgotten AutoRun command specified in my Windows' registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Microsoft Command Processor AutoRun I deleted the AutoRun entry and everything worked: 32bit, 64bit, jdk I should add that this is on Win 8.1 but I expect it would be the same result on Win 7.

Bob >My AutoRun entry had some auto update string for Internet Explorer in it, so I deleted the string entry not the AutoRun key itself and BINGO! Jre-8u72-windows-x64.exe installed and completed.

Hopefully someone can use this.
