JDK 7u2 download causes BSOD
906674Dec 21 2011 — edited Dec 22 2011A funny anomaly for those who use JDK on Windows 7, just for your info.
On Windows 7 Professional ver.6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) that has Adobe Reader 9 Automatic Updater enabled, an attempt to download jdk-7u2-windows-i586.exe resulted in Blue Screen of Death every time when the Adobe Updater has "Click here for Updating for the newest version of Adobe Reader" displayed (as a sign of a completed automatic installer download, and the message ignored by the user).
The BSOD occurred at the last part of the download, occurred every time without failure, until I finally gave up enjoying the good old Blue Screen and installed the latest Adobe Reader 9(version 9.4.7) before downloading the JDK 7u2 installer. After this Adobe install, the download and the installation of the SE JDK went smoothly without a hitch.
