Attempting to update to jre-7u67 from 65 did not appear to work. On reattempting, installation failed with a “Access is denied” message. JDK was still there but I followed recommendations to remove all Java applications and references. Then both new or old JREs and JDKs failed with the same message. A log entry for JDK was “JDK installation failed. Return Code: 1603, ErrorCode: 0 updating component registration”. Can anyone help?

  That is for Windows XP and 2000. I tried the end permission changes but that was rejected by Win 8.1. I haven’t found the same information yet for Win 8.1.

  Which one of those conditions applies to your system?

  None, tried on main HD Windows C partition and D partition that are not encrypted. SYSTEM permissions appear to be correct. I have just tried another suggestion which is installing from a copy in Users AppData, where there is a jre .msi file and a Data1.cab file. This failed, but I followed the suggestion to Trouble shoot compatibility of the .msi file. This ended up indicating that the file is incompatible - Googling for this now.

  After trying various suggested solutions over the last week, I used the end of the road procedure to refresh the PC. At least I could check the USB stick recovery drive that I produced. Then Java JRE installed successfully. Now, I have to reinstall a few other things.
