How do I suppress the "Outdated Java Runtime Environment" message?

843798Jul 23 2009 — edited Aug 11 2009
Hi,

Does anyone know how I can suppress this "Outdated Java Runtime Environment" message?

I'm currently running 1.4.2.12 alongside the latest version of 1.6.x

Each time I start an applet coded to run with 1.4.2.12 a security warning appears titled "Outdated Java Runtime Environment" saying that:

"A Java applet in this webpage requires the Java Runtime Envronment (JRE 1.4.2 to run. You have JRE 1.4.2 installed, but not the latest release. Using an old release may present security risks. Do you want to run the applet anyway?"

YES / NO

I don't want to upgrade to 1.4.2.19 and this problem will occur again is 1.4.2.20 arrvies...

So how can I suppress this warning message?

I can't see anything in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy that can be turned off.

I've tried the obvious:
EnableAutoUpdateCheck = 0
EnaleJavaUpdate = 0
Update schedule = 0

In fact, everything under "Policy" has been set to "0"

Any ideas? Is there an unknown registry switch or something that can be added to the startup script that turns off this version/security check?

Any advice would be useful.
