Registry key error

843798Oct 12 2004 — edited Oct 12 2004
hi. If anybody has a minute, I installed sdk, jre 5 today. I compiled some old programs fine, but when I try to run them, I receive this error...

Registry key 'software\javasoft\java runtime environment\current version' has value '1.5', but '1.3' is required

could not find java.dll
could not fnd java 2 runtime environment

I've searched through this forum and I see where people had problems going forward, where the value was 1.3 when they installed 1.4, but this problem is in reverse. Is something cached int hese files? Changing the registry to point to the 1.3 jre is obviously not so good when installing skd, jre 5. I also deleted the 1.3 jre.

Thank you everybody for reading this.
