Can’t install JDK on Windows 7, «Wrapper.CreateFile failed with error 123»
I’m trying to install JDK on Windows 7, 32 Bit. I’m logged in as administrator, but it tells me:
Installer: Wrapper.CreateFile failed with error 123:
The filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect.
I tried the solutions from this link too, following method one, but didn’t try the others as the thread suggests they don’t really help.

I have the same problem with JRE also. Filemon shows the following file creation failed with INVALID NAME:
I checked out that folder (LocalLow), in fact there was a problem with that folder’s ownership (the owner was «unknown» and I still don’t know how was it possible) so I changed the ownership of the folder as «user» and I managed to install Java without any error message.
On my Vista PC, the folder %HOMEPATH%/AppData/LocalLow was not writable neither for me nor for Administrators. Granting «write» permissions to this «LocalLow»-Folder solved the issue for me.
So create a new user account (A-B. ) and re-install the Java run-time.
maybe it is late but just now I had the same issue. I just created a new user in control panel and logged into new user and fixed. win 7 32 bit installing JDK
