java - Error installing JDK

Question

I got following error while installing JDK 1.7 on windows 8.

"Error 1335. The cabinet file 'st170510.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package."

I have downloaded latest version of JDK from oracle foundation. previously JDK 1.6 was installed on my pc. I uninstalled it and tried to install this version and met this error.

For further information, I have already installed JRE 1.7 on my system.

Error:

"Error 1335. The cabinet file 'st170510.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package."

is not because of Issue in JDK setup or as such.

Some of the reasons may be:

1. Some research suggests that this problem may arise because of bad RAM.

2. This is a Windows Installer error that may occur for different cabinet file names located on the installation media (usually on CD).
