Hi Zippy

Got your PM, download Java from here: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

This should solve your problem.

Use the offline installer and download Java to a newly created empty directory and run it from there.

PS. After you have rebooted your PC, I would also suggest that you go back to the Java website and click the "Verify Installation" button to check that your Java installation is OK.
