Error 103 trying to update java 6 to 1.6.0_51

Ciao,

my mac asks me to update "Java per OS X 2013-004 1.0" but every time I try to download and install this update all I get is "Si è verificato un errore durante l'installazione degli aggiornamenti.(103)" (means: an error occurred during updates installation -> 103).

I'm using Mac OS X 10.8.5 on a iMac 24in built in "late 2011".

I want to know if is it possible to install this update manually or, eventually, skip this version.

Thank you, here is a screenshot of my App Store:

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

Java updates are no longer the purvue of Apple at least for the most current operating systems. They have passed the update process to Oracle. http://www.java.com/

Try each of the following steps.

Step 1

If you're trying to install more than one update, do the updates one at a time.

Step 2

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:

/Library/Updates

Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select

Services ▹ Open

from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Move the contents to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.

Apple is still distributing a Java runtime for standalone applications. It's independent of the Oracle runtime, which is only for web-based applications.
