MicroSoft Virtual Machine

[Bill Jones]

When trying to edit my webpage, I get a message that says my computer needs
"MicroSoft Virtual Machine". I have tried to find it amongst the MicroSoft
updates at the MS Update Site but can't find it. I can find "security
patches for VM" but not the program itself. Any clues as to what's going
on?

Microsoft is no longer able to supply their version of Java due to some
legal issues. you need to download and install Sun's Java.

Greetings --

As the result of a lawsuit by Sun Microsystems, and the ensuing
settlement, Microsoft is no longer allowed to provide its own Java
Virtual Machine to Windows users. You can get almost the same
functionality by downloading Sun's version of Java from
http://java.sun.com/getjava/index.html. If you want the broader
capabilities of Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine, it is still
available from a lot of 3rd-party web sites, some of which are listed
here: http://www.java-virtual-machine.net/download.html.
