I managed to install after encountering 25099 error. Don't know why below steps work but i managed to install with below steps. Hope it works for you.

1. Shutdown firewall (eg. Comodo)
2. Get offline version (eg. Jre-6u12-windows-i586-p.exe)
3. Close all browsers
4. Rename java folder with remnants of previous java versions after error  
    code 25099 on 1st install (rename to eg c:program filesjava_old)
5. Run jre-6u12-windows-i586-p.exe (select change destination folder)
6. Change folder to c:\program filesjava612 (for example)
7. Installation completes (at least in my case)
8. Re-start comodo firewall
9 goto www.javatester.org to test installation

my win xp has a problem with jsqnotify.exe will run multiple copies & hogs 100% cpu. I have to open task manager & end all jsqnotify.exe. Immediately restart firewall as that is setup to block jsgnotify from running. Blocking it will not affect java at all.

Same problem here :( iv done all i can and everything still wont work  still get error 25009  >.>

This problem has been frustrating me for weeks and I've tried every suggested fix I could find on the net - but there was nothing to delete from Control Panel nor any obvious apps/services running under Task Manager.  Then, finally, I saw another suggestion and I went into Program Files on my C drive, found a Java folder with some files in it, deleted the folder and its contents, and was then able to install Java with no problems.

I went to my computer selected "C" drive Then selected program files and removed Java files. Then downloaded Limewire and then went back to desktop and a window came up saying I can download java updates andit worked. It might work just trying downloading java again and not using limewire,I had to delete limewire Before I reloaded it

Change the location when you install Java, it gives you the option. Put mine in bin.

Its much simpler than all this just start panel go into my computer local disc c double click on hidden files find java delete then restart computer go back to java and download again if for limewire you may have to reinstall but just do so anyway as it just updates your existing limewire and you loose nothing

Just like LMBURNS said,remove all versions of java and when your about to install change the location to bin. It worked! Thank you so much!

I went to Windows Task Manager utility and DIDN'T SEE  jqs.exe process running???Then I tried the step method of start-run-cmd net stop "Java Quick Starter" and it said that it didn't exist???? So I just went the route of "start" menu then "search"-" all files and folders" and typed the word "java" in the search box and one by one deleted file each individually....some files could not be deleted but I got most of them and then the java 6 download worked....

IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to programs on c; drive and deleted java file and then reloaded java,  and it worked, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To make every thing easy and getting rid of this problem just go to ur c drive then click on Program Files folder find the Java folder and delete the whole folder. TRUST ME it will work. I've been trying to fix the problem before and i couldnt find a way i did everything JAva told me to do and it still didnt work. So just do what i say and i promise it will work

OK... I got the  JAVA  INSTALLATION error message (error #25099) and was able to fix it with a little internet search. Here is how I fixed and installed the newest and latest version of JAVA:
      GO TO CONTROL PANEL AND DELETE ALL VERSIONS OF JAVA INSTALLATION THEN GO TO C: DRIVE AND UNDER PROGRAMS DELETE THE FOLDER, ETC., NAMED JAVA THEN GO TO JAVA.COM AND DOWNLOAD THE NEWEST VERSION....

It worked for this old Dell 4600... GOOD LUCK
