<@&987246399047479336> please have a look, thanks.
Here is an AI assisted attempt to answer your question ๐ค. Maybe it helps! In any case, a human is on the way ๐. To continue talking to the AI, you can use </chatgpt:1108714622413963314>.
There could be several reasons why you are seeing the message "Another Java installation is in progress, please wait until it completes." Here are a few possible explanations:
-
Another Java installation is actually in progress: It's possible that another Java installation or update process is running in the background. In this case, you should wait until it completes before attempting to install or update Java again.
-
A previous installation or update process was interrupted: If a previous Java installation or update process was interrupted or not completed properly, it may have left behind some remnants that are causing the current installation to fail. In this case, you can try restarting your computer and then attempting the installation again.
-
Conflicting installations: If you have multiple versions of Java installed on your system, they might conflict with each other during the installation process. It's recommended to uninstall any existing versions of Java before installing a new one.
-
Permission issues: The current user account may not have sufficient permissions to install or update Java on the system. In this case, you can try running the installer as an administrator by right-clicking on it and selecting "Run as administrator."
If none of these solutions work, it might be helpful to provide more specific details about your operating system, the version of Java you are trying to install/update, and any error messages that accompany the issue for further assistance.
what kind of odd installer is that to begin with
what are u trying to do and where did u get it?
MSI and Oracle
please be more detailed
ok sorry
The installer is MSI and I got it from Oracle and what I'm trying to do is download JDK cuz I want to setup a Minecraft server
Which website did you get this jdk from?
please be more precise. share the link for example
Oracle
oracle runs a lot of websites
Which download?
can u run through this guide here please? it should fix all the issues ur facing:
Download latest Java from https://adoptium.net/, run the installer.
Open a CMD and type java -version and javac -version, if both show your new Java version, you have successfully installed Java! ๐

In order to prevent issues with old installations you may want to remove them. Type where java and where javac. They should only show the new and no old entries:

If that is not the case, you may want to clean up. Therefore, type "environment variable" into the Windows search and follow the dialog. You will see two entries for a variable called Path, one for your user and one for the system. This variable tells Windows where to look for commands, like java and javac.

Edit both. Make sure that they only list the entry to your new Java installation and remove all the old entries you have seen with the where command before:

Confirm and close all dialogs. Restart your CMD window and try where java and where javac again. It should only list the new installation now and nothing else.
Congratulation, your Java is now finally ready, happy coding ๐
Alright thanks :)
Thanks :)
That's an installer, this shouldnt happen and all the points of the tag are pointless here
huh?
i disagree. running a proper installer and then cleaning up the previous installs should do the trick
The tag says nothing about unninstalling tho
And the error that op gets is from the installer, so before playing with path
You can try to install it manually yes, following the tag above
You unzip it and put it in a java folder in program files
Then you set the path correctly
alright I'll try that
Btw is this because I uninstalled JDK? this is a Minecraft server software
Wdym
Wait
When do you get such error?
This isn't an error, there's just no file picture for it
is it bcz I uninstalled JDK thinking it'd work?
What's the extension of the file?
.jar
And can you do where java in command lines please
Yed
Move it outside
i did i assumed thats what you meant i forgot to take it out before i sent the pic
and is this file supposed to have a picture now? cuz it doesnt
Following what it says here in environment variables
btw tell @twin talon i thanked him cuz the link he sent worked
i will no longer be in need of support :) thanks for help
Ah
oh ffs jdk still isnt downloaded ๐
not sure what u mean
?
The server software still has no picture, it's supposed to have one now that I have JDK
not really
just run it via java -jar myserverfile.jar in ur console
check if it runs
if so, we can talk about installing a "jar double-click" action
But the file doesn't open
It's unrelated
Try to run it from cmd
Pretty sure it's not called myserverfile.jar and pretty sure it's not located in C:/Users/Dell
he just said to run this
ok so i have no problem now but i have another problem so i have to make a new post
It's the same problem
And we will ask the same question
ok..
