The file Java Runtime Environment 1.3.1_0x (an ActiveX Control) in the WINNT/Downloaded Program Files directory says its “Damaged.” What does this mean? What can I do about it?
This is a cosmetic bug; you won’t run into any actual problems with the Java Runtime Environment. It does not mean that anything is damaged or that the installation failed. However, if you would still like to make it read “installed” instead of “damaged”, you can edit the windows registry. First double-click on the ActiveX Control that is “damaged” (Java Runtime Environment 1.3.1_0x) and check the ID value. Go to Start->Run, type regedit and hit “Ok”. Traverse to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCALE_MACHINE//Software//Microsoft//Code Store Database//Distribution Units//{ID}//DownloadInformation, where ID is the value of the ID. Double click on the INF registry string, delete the string contents, and hit “Ok”. The status of the previously “damaged” ActiveX control should now say “installed”.
