I need to install Java so I can test some Java applets.

Thanks for the link but something is wrong. When I try to install it it says corrupted. I downloaded several times and same problem. I go to my other PC and download from there; same problem.

With about 8000 post I'd figure you'd know how to use a search engine, looks like their are quite a few people had the problem. I'd start with doing what they call the "off line" install where you download the whole thing instead of just the installer. http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
You can also use netbeans and eclipse. Eclipse is more widely used but the IDE takes some getting use to because its more of a pain. Its like VS only not so user friendly. And tends to be a little buggy. But once you work your way around the bugs, it gets to be a lot of fun.
