Lenovo T61 running Windows 7 Prof. No java installed as per Control Panel>Programs, javare, Total Uninstaller, etc. Typing "java" at the CLI returns "not recognized". No java in c:\program files. No tell tail registry entries that I can find.
I have tried jre-7-windows-i586.exe, jre-7-windows-i586-iftw.exe, and chromeinstall-7u67.exe. I get the sanity check and the exe shows to be running, but nothing shows on the desktop. I'm stumped.
