This process requires you to download an executable file (e.g., jre-1_5_0_11-windows-i586-p.exe, appx. 15.2 Mb size) that includes all the files needed for the complete installation. You do not need to remain connected to the Internet during the installation. The file can also be copied to a computer that is not connected to the Internet.

The installer "unpacks" the files needed to continue. A dialog box tracks this process, which takes less than a minute. After briefly displaying a logo splash screen, the installer presents the license agreement.
After reading the agreement, click the I accept the terms in the license agreement button to accept its terms and click Next to continue with the installation.
The installer then displays a Setup Type screen that allows you to choose either a typical or custom setup.
We recommend that you choose the Typical option (the default selection) unless you are an advanced user who wants more precise control over the components that will be installed.
After ensuring that the Typical setup is selected, click the Next button to continue with the installation.
Now that you have given the installer all of the information it needs to proceed, progress boxes track the installation process.
A few brief dialogs confirm the last steps of the installation process, and a concluding message appears with the confirmation "Installation Completed OK."
