Woody Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Java update Here Don't forget to go to control panel > add remove programs and remove any older versions of java which you may have on your system. JRE 5.0 update 9 It is never difficult to distinguish between a Scotsman with a grievance and a ray of sunshine. P. G. Wodehouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfenech Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Remove them before installing this update or after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted October 1, 2006 Moderators Share Posted October 1, 2006 As far as I know, it is best to uninstall previous versions first via add and remove, reboot and then install new version. (I also use ccleaner before reboot!)

Glenn Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Uninstalling the old version using Add or Remove Programs will leave behind a folder (in this case C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_08 or older) which should be manually deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted October 1, 2006 Moderators Share Posted October 1, 2006 Thanks for that info Glen, however I did do it via add and remove yesterday and I don't have that folder left in c/programs!

mfenech Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 There were some Sun folders left in my Documents and Settings folder, which I trashed before installing the update. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Odd I've had the leftover folder issue ever since version 5.0 and confirmed it in several "how to update Java" articles before deleting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted October 1, 2006 Moderators Share Posted October 1, 2006 I should have been a bit clearer Glen, the one I had to uninstall manually was in C/docs and settings/user/local settings/application data. Hope you weren't too confused by what I posted!!

Moderators Andavari Posted October 1, 2006 Moderators Share Posted October 1, 2006 I wonder why the Check for Updates option via the Java icon in the Control Panel never works because according to the documentation it's supposed to be able to auto-update itself. And since it has never worked on my system I don't allow the update checker to run on Windows startup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfenech Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Same thing on mine. I don't remember it ever saying it updated. But I check the 'Latest Updates' on FileHippo every morning, so I just do my updating from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it's a complete waste of time. It is never difficult to distinguish between a Scotsman with a grievance and a ray of sunshine. P. G.

xbrianx Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Which one should I download? JDK 6, JDK 6+Netbeans, or Java Runtime Environment 6? I'm guessing JDK 6, just from reading the some of the details. Wait, I just checked my Add/ Remove Programs list, and it says I have Java 2 Runtime Environment, version 1.4.2-I think- A little outdated.

JohnDemolition Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Java Runtime Environment. JDK = Java Development Kit which is only useful for making Java applications. Netbeans is an IDE for Java. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
