1... and what JavaEE implementation? If you're trying to install Glassfish, why not just install the Netbeans installer that includes Glassfish? – fvu Jun 28 '12 at 15:24

or ditch it and use spring ;-) then you won't need a hulking mass of EE server like glassfish, just tomcat and a few jars – NimChimpsky Jun 28 '12 at 15:25

1@Asif tools commonly used by programmers are allowed here as per http://stackoverflow.com/faq#questions – fvu Jun 28 '12 at 15:25

@fvu Well yeah its a _programming tool_ but its more related as OS specific installation purpose question rather than _use_ of that tool in programming.. :) – Asif Jun 28 '12 at 15:50

The JDK installer for Windows doesn't do its job entirely right. Some registry keys for the JRE are missing. The Java EE installer is relying on them. You basically need to install JRE as well which you can get from http://java.com. You don't need to uninstall the JDK. Just install JRE over it, it'll set the proper registry keys and your Java EE installer will then continue.
Note that the Java EE pack basically contains the Glassfish server and optionally also bundles the Netbeans IDE. You can alternatively also just download and install Glassfish separately from http://glassfish.java.net. Or if you happen to have installed Glassfish already or already have another server like Tomcat or JBoss AS, then you don't need the Java EE pack at all.
