The modern Internet browser does not require the installation of Java on Windows. However, millions of users still use the old version of Windows and need Java to perform certain tasks. However, when you update Java, you may not be able to launch the Java Update installer, and the process may be interrupted by a user error.
Another similar error is that Java(TM) Update cannot start the Java(TM) Update installer: the requested operation requires an increase.
This error may be due to administrator rights issues. In this article, we show you how to resolve the “Java Update Installer cannot start” error in Windows.

Installation of Java with Administrative Rights
If you have problems installing Java on Windows 7 or Windows 8, try installing Java as an administrator. To do this, download the offline installer and save it to an empty folder on your hard drive. Then right-click the executable file and choose Run as administrator from the context menu.
Temporarily disable user account control
Some people have reported that the user account control feature interferes with the installation of Java. If you believe that User Account Control is the cause of your problem, you can temporarily disable it until the installation is complete. How to do this depends on the version of Windows you are using. In Windows 8, you will find the option to change user account control settings in the Control Panel under System and Security | Action Center.
