Depending on which version of
Depending on which version of blackboard you use, you need to be careful about this. Of course, this only applies to the locally installed version of Java since Firefox Portable doesn't respect portable java (Java plugin at least)
Offline Installation available?
Hi there, is there any opportunity to have an offline installation package?
The online version does not work properly here (the download seems to fail) and the error message is not really helpful to solve the problem ...
No
Due to licensing reasons we can't do this. That's why it's an online installer.
thx ...
... for the explanation.
I think I'll try with my stick at a different location, maybe it's due to firewall issues.
Happy Easter!
One Way it works
One Way it works for me at list is to install it to the c:\ drive then cut and paste to the original intended location. that's how i got it to work for me
i hope this was helpful.
One way to do it is have it
One way to do it is have it reference another location for a pre-downloaded java package and then use that to install it rather than download it on it's own. We use a web proxy here and it messes up the online installer but I'd have no issue with downloading the file and putting it someplace on my own.
yeah, must have and offline installer
must have an offline installer coz filehippo. has offline installers for java, chrome, etc.
offline java
my java online installer does not work. where does it connect to at all? to download java. because i see no details about error. just says failed!
online
It has to go online to download the official java installer so it can extract the files. If you are offline, it doesnt work. I agree, the error message could be better.
