Problems on install Java 2013-004 update on Lion 10.7.5

I'm trying to install the Java 2013-004 update on a 2008 Macbook with Lion 10.7.5.

I've tried several times from 'Software Update' and downloading the .DMG from Apple.

It always stops at the very end of 'Installing items', lasting less than one minutes. But it can stay in that situation for hours and never completes the installation. And since them I'm having problems with software like 'jdownloader' that uses Java.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Hello megapauer,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

For more information on this, take a look at:

Java updates available for OS X on August 28, 2013

For a new installation of Java 7:

Download the latest Java 7 version from www.java.com/download/mac_download.jsp.
Open the downloaded disk image.
Open the installer within and follow the onscreen instructions.

Best of luck,

Mario
