unable to locate component

I tried installing both installers the offline and the online but both had the same problem. When its halfway through installing[after the download] it says "unpack200.exe unable to locate component" in the title and the message said it couldnt find MSVCR71.dll and it said try installing again after I closed that window it said that the installer is currupt. Can anyone help me?

Try installing Java first using it's offline installer

Now install LW using the offline installer

I already have java. Its version is 1.5.0.70 J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 7

When you used the offline installer, did you download it into an empty folder/directory and close your internet connection?

If not, then delete your corrupt installation of LW (and any directories or sub-directories that may have been created), download LW into an empty folder, close down your internet, reboot your PC and finally run your installation from your empty folder.

Unless you are extremely unlucky or have an unknown problem with your PC, you should be OK.
