Java Error 1316
Java is a popular computer programming language used for creating websites and other computing applications. A computer must have the Java Runtime Environment installed to use a Java-based application. As in the installation of any computer software, errors occasionally appear during installation. One of those possible pesky errors is Error 1316. The error indicates either a problem with the computer's connection to Java's servers or possibly a problem in the computer's registry.

The Error's Explanation
-
The text of the full error looks like this: "Error 1316. A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file <file>." Instead of "<file>" you see the name of an online executable file your computer is trying to download in order to install the online version of Java. One reported cause of the error is a registry problem associated with a Windows version upgrade. There are two solutions to Error 1316: the easy way and the extended way.
First Possible Fix
-
The first possible solution to Java Error 1316 is the easiest: you can wait and try again. "A network error," as the code states, means the problem lies in the network. Either the Java server is too busy or the network between your computer and Java's servers is congested. This is most likely a temporary condition. Waiting a few minutes or an hour and then trying again may allow you to install Java successfully without experiencing Error 1316.

Second Solution One
-
The second way to solve Java Error 1316 is to fix the problems in the registry by uninstalling all older versions of Java and then reinstalling. There are two ways to uninstall old versions of Java. The first way is through the Control Panel. Click the "Start" button then select "Control Panel." Click on "Uninstall a program" under the "Programs" menu. Scroll down the list to Java and double-click to begin uninstalling the old version of Java.
Second Solution Two
-
A second method to uninstall older versions of Java requires using the freeware program "JavaRa." JavaRa's sole purpose is to uninstall old and redundant versions of the Java Runtime Environment. Surf to RaProducts.org to download the ZIP file and run the program. After uninstalling Java through either method, revisit Java.com's downloads page and download the setup file again. Run the file to reinstall Java and you should not re-experience Java Error 1316.
