I have been successfully able to install the JDK 5, update 8 on a number of PCs without issue. However, I just acquired a new laptop from my employer that is running Windows XP SP2 and when I try to install the JDK, I get an error right away when the Windows Installer is attempting run that states:

Error 2894.Internal Error 2894.123

It is obviously something specific to this laptop build that our PC support staff put on for me. Any ideas as to what might cause an error like this when installing the JDK?

On a side note, I have been able to install other software without issue on this new machine

Thanks for any help!

I looked for that error in google and I got the same answer in almost every page: W32.Nimda.A@mm virus .

Try to run an antivirus and see if that helps!

Good luck

Unfortunately, the virus scan did not find any viruses. I even downloaded the nimda cleaning tool specifically to find it and it wasn't found.

I also found that microsoft relates that error number with this: Loading RICHED20.DLL failed. GetLastError() returned: [2].

I read that you can fix it installing this: Windows SDK

Let me know if that helps

This stinks of more of a Windoze issue than a Java issue, so I am moving it to the General Computing forum.

Format and reinstall windows are, in most cases like yours, are the best and fastest solutions.
