Java Update Installer Hanging

[Pete S]

I'm trying to update Java but the installer hangs at 50 seconds to go and now has gone up to 1 min 15 seconds to go.

Clearly something hasn't worked but I can't abandon it or get rid of it on my screen.

What do I do next to bin the update notion?

Many thanks

Peter

1. Wait.
2. Wait some more.
3. Interrupt it, restart the pooter, and try again.
4. Delete Java altogether (I get lots of warnings about it, and rarely use it - unlike Javascript).
