When trying to install an education simulator get error 'This application has unexpectedly quit. Invocation of this Java Application has caused an Invocation TargetException.'

Try updating Java:

Please note that if you are using both 32-bit and 64-bit IE, you need to download both 32-bit and 64-bit Java respectively.

So make sure you’re testing for java using the appropriate version of IE or better install both 32-bit and 64-bit version of Java.

Hence, I’d suggest you to download the offline package manually and try installing the same.

Refer the following articles:

download the appropriate java setup file and save it on HD. Physically disconnect your computer from the internet, that's right -  pull out Ethernet cable or disconnect wireless connection. Install java from setup file (note: no error message). Reboot (not sure if necessary but done anyway).  Reconnect internet and your java is working.

Hi Andre,

Thanks for your advice. I followed your suggestions, but that did not fix the issue. Not sure what the problem is. Any other suggestions?

Thanks
