Hi!
Several weeks ago while trying to get Eclipse for Java and for C/C++ working on my computer, I broke my ability to run Java Web Applets while installing JDK on my computer. A couple of days ago when I tried to get the Applets working again, I ended up breaking my JDK compatibility and although I could open Eclipse, I could not build any Java files. When I went to try to reinstall JDK again, I ended up breaking Java completely on my computer. Right now, at this point, I have Java completely uninstalled and I can't run anything Java - or reinstall it again.
Every time I try to reinstall Java (I am on Windows 7), it says I already have Java installed on the system and it asks me if I want to reinstall it. I click yes, and after a short pause, I get the error message "Error 1723. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." I have tried installing several versions of Java (JRE-32 bit, JRE-64 bit, JDK-32 bit, and JDK-64 bit) and they all give the same error.
Does anyone know a solution to this problem. This is preventing me from working on all of my projects, as I can't open Eclipse. Likewise, it is quite annoying to not be able to open Java Applets.
Thank you very, very much in advance!
