On a certain website, it says to click here to download plugin (Java). When executing the download, it says 'the installer cannot proceed with the current Internet Connection settings. I'm running 4.01. It was fine before the upgrade.

On a certain website, it says to click here to download plugin Java Runtime Environment. I receive the message installer cannot proceed with the current Internet Connection settings. It was fine before the upgrade to 4.01. I have another PC that has IE on it and it works fine and again it worked fine until the upgrade to 4.01. I've done the off-line download but in Firefox it still says I need the plugin and still results in the installer cannot proceed with the current Internet Connection settings.

You can install Java from here: http://www.java.com/en/

You also need to update your Flash installation since the one you have at the moment exposes your system to attack. It's a similar story for Adobe Reader.

I attempted the solution. It downloaded to my PC successfully but I still received the same error. I went into the Internet Properties > Connections and clicked on LAN Settings. The checkbox for 'Use a proxy server for your LAN was checked. I unchecked this box and the installation was then successful. Thank you!
