JRE Corrupt?

[Roedy Green]

I tried twice to install JRE 1.6.0_16 on a laptop. It failed both
times. I tried downloading it from FileHippo.com and it worked fine.

Has anyone else had trouble with Sun's copy?

It would be a shame if people gave up on Java because of a corrupt
download.

Which OS? I very recently installed the same JRE version on Windows Server
2003 and it's all working fine.

I've installed JRE6u16 downloaded from Sun onto Windows XP and Linux Ubuntu
without trouble.

I installed JDK fine, which has an included JRE. I sent a message to
Sun to ask them to check the MD5. Now the entire sun.com site is
inaccessible.

First you break the JRE and then you bring down the entire Sun website!
What's next Roedy?

I tried to call a buddy of mine at Sun to check on this, and all I
heard was what sounded like Larry Ellison's voice saying
"Exterminate!"".
