    WRY2000,

    You can download Windows Installer 3.1 from here.

    (Please don't use all caps--it implies you are shouting.)

    Sorry about all caps. I don,t do much typing. mostly web surfing.
    Thanks for you,r help. I did down load windows installer,restarted computer,redown loaded java update.Windows installer reports" (This installation package could not be opened. Very that the package exists and that you can access it,or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package)."
    I ran a search for java on my computer. It list 6 of them in different files.
    I used help and support on my computer it reports my operating system as WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL,Would this make a differance?
    This system was was a Refurb. I was told it only had windows xp home edition.
