I have a Mac Pro running Safari 6.0.5 and OS X 10.7.5. I have been trying for a couple of days to install Java 7. I downloaded latest version from the Java site and it will not install. I re-downloaded several times. No change. It goes through the install wizard and gets all the way to the end and says installation failed.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

run the install, then open the Console application (//Applications/Utilities/Console) and check /var/log/install.log
or, open up terminal and type in cat /var/log/install.log
find the entries from the java install attempt, and post 'em here.

here's the problem:

something's funky with launch service's information for your installation of chrome.
try using this command to rebuild your launch service database, then run the java installation again. if that doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall chrome after rebuilding the launch service db, then run the java installation again.
Note- the command i linked to is 10.8 specific. If you're not on 10.8, let me know what rev of OS X you are running and I'll get you the right one.

Mac Pro Java Problems

Elvisizer,

I reallly appreciate your great help! First, I am running 10.7.5. But beyond that, I do not have Chrome loaded on the computer! I did have some months ago because it automatically loaded with something else I had loaded. I didn't even know it was there for a couple of weeks and then I found it and uninstalled it. I run Safari 6.0.5

Hope that info helps. Many thanks.

yeah, rebuilding the LS database should definitely fix it then.
I'm not finding the path for the command on lion anywhere online, and I don't have anything running 10.7 anymore so you can either run this command, which will find the lsregister program, then execute it:
Code: 
`sudo find /System/Library/Frameworks -name lsregister` -kill -seed
or download onyx and use it to rebuild the launchservices database. it's under maintenance > rebuild > launchservices in onyx.

Elvisizer,

I'm going to have to put you on the payroll! The sudo command would not work, so I downloaded Onyx and ran it. It showed my start volume to be needing a repair. It gave instructions to use the Command - R at start up which I did. Then using the disk utility I ran verification and it showed all ok. I ran repair and it showed all ok.

Re ran Onyx and got the same message again that disk needed repair. So I went through all of it a second time. Same results.

???

Thanks much.

I wouldn't worry about the disk repair right now- have onyx skip it's disk check so you can rebuild launch services.
Once that's done, then check the disk repair errors to see if you need to replace your drive. Were they SMART errors?
 
No, they were not SMART errors. It went through that check just fine. I will go ahead with Onyx and see if that works. Thanks.
 
Elvisizer,

MANY thanks for all your help. I got Java loaded successfully. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your taking the time and making the effort to help me.

Hi Elvisizer,

I am having this same problem on 10.8.3. I ran the command you cited to rebuild the LS database (thank you!) and did not get an error. However, the install is still failing. My install log is nearly identical to the above with the error 10814, but it is Firefox instead of Chrome.

Do you have any ideas on where to look next? We've tried reaching out to corporate IT as well as Java but as expected neither was able to help with this specific of an issue.

Thank you!

Steven
 
hey steven, sorry it took awhile, been a busy week for me and haven't been to the site... in fact, I was out of town last week for jnuc, so i guess it's been two weeks!

did you download onyx and use it to rebuild launchservices as well?
if you haven't, do that.
if you did and that didn't work, can you post your log?
