Error: version of JRE (version 1.5+) not locally installed
807600Nov 3 2007 — edited Nov 3 2007Hello,
I recently installed JRE version 6 update 3 on my Windows XP SP2 machine. I checked and tested online
my installed Java Virtual Machine (JVM) from http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml , and got
confirmation for my installed JRE version 6 update 3. But....down on that same internet page i saw this:
Windows operating system:
Congratulations Java is installed on your system
JRE version *1.4.2_02*
What happened ?
The reason I mention this discrepancy is that an application on my machine that uses Java complains
that there is no JAVA (version 1.5 +) on my local machine installed.
How come that although I find JRE version 6 update 3 installed on my machine it is seen as 1.4.2_02 ?
Can anyone help me out on this nasty issue ?
N.B.
1). I have under Windows / Control Panel only JAVA version 6 update 3 visible in my list of Programs.
2). Under Windows / TaskManager I can't find java as a running application.
Regards,
PeterNL
