My PC had issues which caused me to decide to just scrub the HD and start new.
After re-installing my OS (Vista 32), Windows Installer is not working. I have tried everything suggested on the internet help sites and I still can not resolve the problem.

My question is this:
Can Java Runtime Environment be manually installed without depending on Windows Installer?
I need JRE for AI Carriers to install properly. Any help is appreciated.

Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

I don't think you can manually install Java, but before you go any further, do you have the latest Windows Installer for Vista installed? (version 4.5)

Yeah, I tried that, I get a "not enough storage space" error, which is faulty because my PC is practically empty. I have researched the error quite a bit, and have come up with nothing that fixes it. I think that if I re-installed my OS (again) it might fix it, but if I'm going to go through the trouble i might as well upgrade to Windows 7.

Thanks anyway Wink
