[Kim]

If Internet Explorer beleives that you do not have java installed then
it will bring up a dialog box named:

Install on Demand ( Other )
To Display this page correctly, you need to download and install the
following components:

Java Virtual Machine


However when you click the download button you currently ( July 2003
)get this:



We're sorry. The page you are viewing requires that you have a more
recent version of the Microsoft Virtual Machine on your system. To
obtain an updated version of the Microsoft Virtual Machine, please go
to Windows Update.

This is because the string value below is pointing to a link that MS
really no longer honours.


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\WebJITURLs
this value is
http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd=ie&clcid={SUB_CLCID}&olcid={SUB_OLCID}&pver=6.0&ar=JAVAVMJIT


so change the contents of this string value to where you know the ms
jvm install exe is:

either :

http://support.centra.com/downloads/msjavx86.exe
( link given by http://java-virtual-machine.net/download.html )

or even ( if you already have it ) :
C:\hold\msjavx86.exe


Even after you have installed it - you may keep getting

Install on Demand ( Other )
To Display this page correctly, you need to download and install the
following components:

Java Virtual Machine

This is because for some reason the DWORD value below:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Main\NoWebJITSetup

is set to 0 and stays that way even when you update.

Change it to 1

You should no longer receive prompts

An independent test of whether java is working and what version you
have is here
