I have a client who needs Microsoft VM in her Internet
Explorer on her Windows XP Pro system. It is missing.
It is preventing her from accessing her vendors websites
and from instlling needed Java Scrips from her vendors
websites. How do we get Microsoft VM into her system.

Pete,

We are no longer able to provide the Microsoft Java VM.
See
http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/java/
The vendor should be encouraged to move away from requiring a technology no
longer shipped on any OEM Windows XP PCs or available to the retail
purchaser.

Hi

Take a look at this post to get information on how to add MS JVM to your WinXP
installation::

I know that is because of the settlement between Microsoft and Sun but it is
causing problems. In the UK, the UK Government Gateway website that gives
access to online tax returns etc relies on the MS VM for digital certificate
checking. It simply does not work with the latest Sun JRE. It seems a shame
that Sun got this agreement but cannot provide a JRE with equivalent
capabilities.

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.

If you do choose the Microsoft JVM, be sure to visit Windows
Update to apply a needed security patch.

With the new release of the Government Gateway (happening in the early hours
of Wed, 11/02 - see http://www.gateway.gov.uk), the Gateway will be moving
to the final W3C digital signing standard. Following this upgrade, any
client side components that produce W3C compliant outputs will be compatible
with the Gateway. The UK Government has made clear that it is the
responsibility of vendors in the client space to produce compatible
applications.

Accordingly, Microsoft will be making available, at its own cost, a
replacement for the MSJVM client-side signing control that is written
completely in .Net. This will eliminate the dependency on the MSJVM for the
UK Government Gateway signing control. However, use of this particular
client-side code will require that the client is running the .Net Framework.
If the .Net framework is not installed (or the browser is not >= IE 5.5 or
the platform is not Windows) we will still support the existing MSJVM
control.

In addition, if other vendors respond to the Government's request and make
available other client-side signing components compliant with the W3C
specifications, additional technologies will also be supported.
