Hello,

I've just bought a new laptop with Vista Home Premium pre-installed. Downloaded Firefox and got it working, but I'm trying to install Java and it won't... just gives me the following message:

"The installation of package http://(blah blah blah) failed with -203."

Any ideas?
Your help is appreciated. Thanks!

java auto install with firefix on vista doesnt work..

go to -- http://developers.sun.com/downloads/top.jsp

scroll down to "Java SE" and download the top one (Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6) -- install this and you should be fine...
