Getting this error when it tries to install:
Unable to download http://java.sun.com/update/1.6.0/1.6.0_02-b05.xml
It's trying to download beta 5?
I downloaded the CAB file referenced in object codebase:
https://java.sun.com/update/1.6.0/jinstall-6-windows-i586.cab
The inf file in the CAB file references the URL above.
This was working before. I think the wrong file got posted online.
Could you please provide the steps that you use in downloading the Java? Also, which version are you trying to upgrade from? i.e. 6, 6 update 1?
b05 means build 05.

Hi
We have been getting the same thing since around Thursday last week. It doesn't appear to be related to the version of Java being upgraded from, or even the operating system, etc.
If you try to open the url http://java.sun.com/update/1.6.0/1.6.0_02-b05.xml in a browser, it redirects to http://javadl-esd.sun.com/update/1.6.0/1.6.0_02-b05.xml and the response is "file not found"
If you try the same with the url from the cab file for 5.0u11 you will be able to see the actual xml
Upgrading from Java 1.4.2_14.
It looks to me like it gets the URL from the CAB that it downloads. The URL in the CAB gives a 404 error.

Sorry, I didn't explain in detail:
We're using a tag like this:
<object
classid='clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93'
codebase='https://java.sun.com/update/1.6.0/jinstall-6-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,5,0,0'
>
...
</object>
It's been working fine for a while. This problem started this week.
Sarel Botha, sounds like you are from South Africa too - bit of a coincidence - I wonder if that might have something to with it?

The issue of autodl has already been fixed. The latest build is 6 update 2 build 06. The autodl should download this latest version now.
Thanks,

Thanks, looks like this should be working now - The url in the cab file now points to http://java.sun.com/update/1.6.0/1.6.0_02-b06.xml (was ...b05.xml previously) and you can open and view this xml in a browser (previously got "file not found").
I can't try an actual installation right now - will let you know if it's still a problem

Thanks, it's working now.
Yeah, that is a coincidence. I'm from South Africa, but living in Florida, so it's not a physical location issue.
