I keep getting the message Error 1722 when I install JRE.

I keep getting the message:

Error 1722.There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.

When I try to install this on my computer which is XP and I don't know how to get it on to my computer. I need it for an application and it won't work unless I get JRE on my computer.

Refer to the JDK Installation Instructions. The error is discussed at the end. (The JRE Installation Instructions says refer to the JDK instructions for troubleshooting.)
