I am currenlty working in a controlled enviroment where I dont have access to admin rights. Now, I am looking for some way to install Java on this vary machine. I have got a java installer.

Is there exist some way to achieve this?

I don't think so. A workaround is to install the JDK on a machine you have full control of. Then copy the whole directory to the controlled machine, I've never seen a JDK that really requires any registry keys... – home Sep 9 '11 at 6:58

You can install it in a per-user location, and place the path to JDK in the Path environment variable. You could use a setup authoring tool like Advanced Installer or InstallShield, of free tools like WiX or NSIS.

That should make it accessible to other apps searching for the JDK tools. Not the best way, but can't see any other choice in lack of admin privileges.

Do you need the compiler or just the JRE?

If it's only the JRE you should take a look at: http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/java_portable

Maybe not so good idea, but you can try to download Processing, it is a Java covered programming language as it contains a portable version of Java JDK. You can erase everything except Java an use it.
