No Java virtual machine in IE6

[Nenad Djordjevic]

Hi
I installed WinXP Pro and then I put Win XP SP1a. After
that I can't run any web site that requires Java Virtual
Machine. I think that I don't have JVM at all. Windows
Update didn't help. Now my IE version is
6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2...

Thanks.

Nenad,

Microsoft has removed MS Java VM from SP1a. Download Sun's version of java.

For MS Java VM, get it from here: http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/msjavx86.exe
Then, goto windowsupdate.microsoft.com and download the update to this version. Installing the the updated one [build 3810] is highly recommended. But why? See here:

Anyone have any idea what I should try next? Also - not sure if it is related - I have 2 Java icons in my control panel: Plug -in versions 1.3.1 (black & white triangle thumbs up man) and a 1.3.1_02 (coffee cup with pink smoke). NEITHER will open by double-clicking. No error messages - just a quick hourglass, then nothing

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated..

BTW - from reading several other messages on this issue: I am also completely missing the file/program "wjview". And I just attempted another download of the MS version of JVM and it says that it will only install over an existing version of itself. ..

 

[oops!!]

Download the plug-in here, from the creators of Java:

Hi Charlie,

I did download the MS version and it says it will only install over a previous version of the java machine. And then it says "installation complete". When I tried to download the Sun version, it says first that the download was interrupted, and that no changes were made to my system. When I redownloaded it, it came up with a "modify" or "remove" option - I modified and added what was missing - and then it said the installation was successful, but it still does not work on java-machine necessary sites. I seem to be missing some system files - one of which was msjava.dll, which I copied from a windows disk I have to my pc. Once I did that the red "x" on the websites disappeared, and now it is showing the generic icon of shapes for a picture that isn't loading.

To be honest - I don't think anyone can help me out.

 

[oops!!]

Go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall Java 2 Runtime Environment.

Try to download/install again from here:

Hi Mrs Koz - See if this straightens it out for you - read carefully,
please:

You can test whether Java is working on your machine at the following
sites:

http://www.pocoso.de/pocoso052.html
http://www.clan.lib.ri.us/clan/javatest.html
http://www.fitwise.com/testjava.asp (both 1.0 and 1.1 and what's
installed)
http://coglab.wadsworth.com/support/browsercheck.html
http://www.ces.clemson.edu/webct/browser_detect.html

and you can test Javascript here:
http://www.dancespots.net/browsertest.htm

and check whether you have the MS VM installed and which version here:
http://www.visualware.com/personal/support/index.html#java

There is good information concerning all aspects of the Java situation here:
http://www.javatester.org/installing.html

Be aware, however, that after Sept. 30, 2004, MS will apparently no longer
be distributing Java or providing any support for Java including
security fixes. (It's unclear as to how 6/26/03 court decision will
affect this) See here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/evaluation/news/jre.asp, and
http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/java/ ,and more recently here:
http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle....RBAELCFEY?type=technologyNews&storyID=3572282
so you
might want to start thinking about the future.

You can get the Sun Java J2SE RunTimes or SDK here:
http://java.sun.com/downloads/index.html (all versions - select using
the dropdown)

Sun also offers an automatic download and install of the 1.4 Java
plug-in here: http://java.sun.com/getjava/download.html



For the MS Java VM, you may need to install v.3809 prior to upgrading
to v. 3810 if you didn't previous have MS Java v. 3805 or 3809
installed.

If your OS is Win2000 SP2, SP3 but NOT SP4 then you can download and
install the MS Java VM v. 3809 from here:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/m..._510A502BA8F9B6F19230BB2BCCE87D5474AC9DCD.exe
or here:
http://www.biologylab.awlonline.com...icrosoft.Q810030_W2K_SP4_5849/Q810030_W2K.exe

For Win2000 SP4, you'll need to re-install v.3805, from here:
http://www.download.support.safetec.net/msjavx86/msjavx86.exe
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/msjavx86.exe


For all other OS's:

Download and install the MS Java VM v. 3809 from one of the links here:
http://ftp.idilis.ro/windows/sp/jvm98/msjavwu.exe, or here:
http://www.biologylab.awlonline.com...XP/com_microsoft.javavm_3809_5853/msjavwu.exe,
or here: http://secinfo.huji.ac.il/patches/Win-xp/msjavwu.exe


Then upgrade to v. 3810:

For all OS's except Win2kSP4 obtain v. 3810 here:
http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail.php3?fid=1050022631 ,or here:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/m...l/MSJavWU_8073687b82d41db93f4c2a04af2b34d.exe

For Win2k - SP2, SP3 - you can also obtain v. 3810 from Microsoft here:
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...-9b18-423356321682/Q816093_W2K_SP4_X86_EN.exe

For Win2kSP4, to get 3810 from Microsoft you now have to get Q816093 from
Windows Update Catalog - use the entry for Windows 2000 SP4 (this seems to
be the only Win2k option that has it) and then find 816093 in the list. You
can find directions for using the Windows Update Catalog functions here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;323166. (I am
informed by Torgeir Bakken, MVP, that if you rename the downloaded file from
here: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail.php3?fid=1050022631 to
msjavwu.exe it will then also work for SP4.)

Both Java VM's can co-exist on your machine quite nicely. Just select
which one you want to use in Tools|Internet Options|Advanced and restart
all IE browsers. Here, courtesy of Michel Gallant, MVP Security, is a
tiny utility which allows you to toggle and view status of your current
Java VM vendor associated with IE:
http://pages.istar.ca/~neutron/SelectIEJVM

A note from Mitch Gallant:

"One note about the JVM Selector utility:
If/when you install a new version of Sun J2SE, you need to manually
select to have Sun JVM as default JVM for IE (in install), or after
install
via the JavaPlugin control panel. This generates the necessary win32
registry
entries, which must be present for the utility to know about JavaPlugin.
After that, the utility should work properly."

Hi Zee

All I can say is THANK YOU! I followed your instructions over the messages and removed the prev Sun versions that were installed when I bought the computer, as well as the one I tried to install *(Sun) yesterday, and restarted, then redownloaded the Sun version and it WORKED. I was imagining another 11 hours or so between Microsoft and Sun, maybe emachines too. Finally, it worked. Thank you so much!

hi Jim,

Thanks so much for the details - I needed most all of them. I followed another poster's instructions to the letter and the Sun 1.4 version is now working, wonder of wonders. I tried the fitwise link you gave before the new installation, and it said I didn't have JVM at all on my pc, even though I bought it with 2 versions of Java installed. So I took uninstalled all of them, and started over with the new Sun JVM. I'm thrilled, after spending the first 3 days with my new computer trying to FIX IT. I've saved your message offline should anything ever go wrong again. After my last system restore, a message of yours I had saved from another thread was wiped, so I was happy to see you post it again.

Thanks so much,

Mrs Koz

 

[Jim Byrd]

YW, Mrs. Koz - Glad this helped straighten it out for you.
