I downloaded J2sdk1.4.1 version successfully, but when I try to install it I keep getting "Contents of this file cannot be unpacked.The executable you are attempting to run has been corrupted.Please obtain another copy of the file , verify its integrity and try again".
I tried downloaded 3-4 time I keep getting the error. Please help!

It sounds like the file you are downloading just keeps getting corrupted. I'm not sure what could be causing the problem unless the source where you are downloading the file from is actually corrupted, as well, but if you are using HTTP to download the file, you may want to try using FTP as an alternative or vice versa.

Geetha,
Welcome to JavaRanch!
Your problem sounds most frustrating. I don't know of any sources other than http://java.sun.com to download the JDK. To be able to download it 4 megabytes at a time would be appreciated by many modem users, I am sure.
If I were you, I'd ask someone I knew had a working copy for a copy, or if I thought my slow internet connection were the source of problems, I'd locate a high bandwidth connection to the internet at perhaps a university library or an internet cafe and download from there, or perhaps even search the internet for an alternate download location.
I wish I knew of an easier solution, but I cannot imagine one.
Good Luck.

Earlier to installing Java2SDk1.4.1, I had JDK1.2.1, which was working fine, I deleted this version, and was trying to install a newer version on Windows NT. Now, I cannot even install JDK1.2.1 from a CD, I am getting a Windows NT error(Dr Watson for Window NT) saying "An application error has occured and an application error log is generated".
Thanks for your help.
