I am trying to help a friend
Dell Dimension 530
XP Pro SP3, all updates current
32 bit
Intel Duo e7400; 2.8 GHZ
3 GB
McAfee
IE8
My friend had Java 6. something installed.
Java was working fine; just out of date.
SILLY me, I uninstalled it.
Rebooted
From Java.com, I tried the online installation. It failed.
Downloaded Java 7.40 from Java.com, offline version
Installation failed
I tried in clean boot; failure
As a test, I went to www.time.gov; left clicked on the map.
IE8's Info bar advised me that an ActiveX app needed permission.
I selected: run the ActiveX
THEN, Windows OR IE8 notified me that the installation had been halted because Windows has blocked this software because it can't verify the publisher.
REALLY?
Things I have tried:
A.
internet options > security tab > Trusted Sites.
I added www.time.gov
Closed IE
Opened IE
Failure
B.
These steps

C.
Internet Options
"Advanced" tab
unchecked "allow software to run or install even if the signature is invalid".
Closed IE8
tested > failed
AND, to top it off, Java DOES HAVE an uninstaller tool / utility, but GUESS WHAT?!!! One needs Java installed to access the Java uninstallation download. ARGH!!

It can NOT be downloaded / saved. It can ONLY be run.
***** Co Incidentally:
About 2 weeks ago, I tried to help a different friend using an HP desktop, running W8, 64 bit, all updates current.
Java was installed, but my friend has been, for about a month, been unable to play SOME games at www.pogo.com.
Also, as a test at www.time.gov, Java, which had been / was installed, Java wouldn't run because Windows has blocked this software because it can't verify the publisher.
I also tried clean booting; adding time.gov to IE's trusted zone; Internet Options > Advanced tab changes.
I tried IE10, manage add ons, with only Java enabled.
:(
Maybe it is me.
HOWEVER, I don't have these problems on my XP boxes nor my W8 box.
Fortunately for my 2nd friend, there are known issues regarding Java & Pogo, AND Pogo has some tech support.
I have reported both instances to Java, but I have no hope that they will reply.
