SP1a is IDENTICAL to SP1 except that the Java Engine was removed from SP1a due
to the lawsuit by Sun. So it wouldn't make any difference.

There's no point to doing that. The only difference between the
two is that SP1 includes Java Virtual Machine, and it was removed
from SP1a by court order.

If you need Java, you can get it as follows:

Sun Java: http://java.sun.com/getjava/index.html.

Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine:
