Hi all,

I'm just curious. The Java VM from Microsoft's site seemed to disappear. I can't even download it from Windows Update. It only says that it's no longer available for download. What gives? I had to download the Java plug-in from Sun's site.

I was wondering the same thing, as I also needed to download the same plugin.

BTW: Where did you download it off of Sun's site?

you mean the stuff at java.sun.com ???

Yes, that's it I suppose.

Yes you have to get it from SUN's site and be warned that sites that use Java applets like visalware.com, can cause the IE window to close. The only method I know to open such sites is to use a Link Manager that opens them with a click and to open 4 (not less) IE windows at once (quickly, not 1 after other slowly) in order for 1 or 2 windoes to work. I reproduced this on 2 PCs and my LapTop :angry:

Or you use Mozilla or so. Bottom line is that, for once, it is NOT Microsofts fault :(

I need some help... I can't download it and receive an error like this:

The install ingine (iKernal.exe) could not be launched.

Error loading type library/dll

If I recall, MS had to change their licensing agreement with Sun.
