Default Removing Previous Versions of Java

I was just looking through the A/R list on Win98SE computer, noticing
that I have a rather large list of Java Runtime Environment installs
all the way from Java 2 v1.4.1_02 until Java 6 Update 4 (13 in
total). Can I delete everything prior to Java 6 Update 4 or shall I
retain Java 5.0 Update 14 along with Java 6 Update 4 as well. Thanks.

Uninstall them ALL, check to see if there is a Java folder in C:\Program
Files, and if so delete it, then go to Java.com and get the latest for 98/ME
which is 5.0 Update 15. Or, since your system seems to have no problems with
v6, get the latest version 6 Update 6.

Every time you update Java, first remove any existing Java installations.

Thanks Gary. Works great. I went with 5.0 Update 15, then went to the
verification process on the Java site which confirms that 5.0 Update
15 is the correct version, that everything was working properly. While
first trying 6.0 Update 6, I got the warning that this version was
incompatible, might not function properly, so as a "non-techie", I
went the safe route. Thanks again, sure frees up a lot of "C" drive
space.

Yeah, they are still patching v5 (Update 15 is a very recent one), and until
they stop doing that, it's the one I'd choose for 9x systems.

Gary, a new glitch on using Java 1.5.1 update 15, solo. Upon opening
Writer in Oxygen Office Professional 2.4.0, an error window came up
saying that this version of Java was defective and to use another
version. As you might recall, amongst the 13 JRE installs on my
computer was Java 6 update 4. So I uninstalled 1.5.1 update 15, then
re-installed Java 6 update 4, the error window went away. To verify,
when Writer came up, I went to "Tools, Options, Open Office.org, Java,
which then lists Java 6 update 4 as the only JRE install, with a check
mark next to it, confirming that it was the correct version for Oxygen
Office Professional 2.4.0. I went the further step of installing Java
6 updates 5, 6 as well, but Writer only put a check mark next to Java
6 update 4 again as the correct version, so I uninstalled Java 6
updates 5, 6, leaning Java 6 update 4 as the only Java install on my
computer, guess that's the right one. For this non-techie it seems to
work. Thanks, Ken.

Default Removing Previous Versions of Java

Not familiar with the Open Office app, but I bet if you ONLY installed
Update 6 and uninstalled the rest, your app will choose it just fine. I'd
certainly want to test. But you MUST only have one installed at a time. (And
always check Program Files\Java folder to make sure that only one folder
exists, the one for the installed Update. If other folders still exist there
after uninstalling from Add/Remove Programs, delete those folders.

These updates are nearly always intended to fix a vulnerability. If you
can't use the latest update(s), then you really need to use your firewall to
block Java from running in your browser. Use it only for your local apps.

All is well again. Thanks.

No, all is NOT well if you're using version 6 Update 4. You should uninstall
Update 4 and install Update 6. I'm betting your application will work just
fine with the latest Update.

I tried that Gary but the app won't put a checkmark next to it, only
Java 6 update 4. By the way that app is the fuller version of Open
Office 2.4.0, the free office program similar to Microsoft Office.

Default Removing Previous Versions of Java

When you described trying it, you didn't say that you removed JRE6 Update 4.
Sounded to me like you just added updates 5 and 6 without removing any of
the others (4 and or 5). If ONLY update 6 is installed, what happens? What
gets checked?

Files, and if so delete it, then go to Java.com and get the
latest
for
98/ME
which is 5.0 Update 15. Or, since your system seems to have no
problems
with
v6, get the latest version 6 Update
6.http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp


Every time you update Java, first remove any existing Java
installations.

I was just looking through the A/R list on Win98SE computer,
noticing
that I have a rather large list of Java Runtime Environment
installs
all the way from Java 2 v1.4.1_02 until Java 6 Update 4 (13
in
total). Can I delete everything prior to Java 6 Update 4 or
shall
I
retain Java 5.0 Update 14 along with Java 6 Update 4 as well.
Thanks.


Thanks Gary. Works great. I went with 5.0 Update 15, then went to
the
verification process on the Java site which confirms that 5.0
Update
15 is the correct version, that everything was working properly.
While
first trying 6.0 Update 6, I got the warning that this version
was
incompatible, might not function properly, so as a "non-techie",
I
went the safe route. Thanks again, sure frees up a lot of "C"
drive
space.


Gary, a new glitch on using Java 1.5.1 update 15, solo. Upon opening
Writer in Oxygen Office Professional 2.4.0, an error window came up
saying that this version of Java was defective and to use another
version. As you might recall, amongst the 13 JRE installs on my
computer was Java 6 update 4. So I uninstalled 1.5.1 update 15, then
re-installed Java 6 update 4, the error window went away. To verify,
when Writer came up, I went to "Tools, Options, Open Office.org,
Java,
which then lists Java 6 update 4 as the only JRE install, with a
check
mark next to it, confirming that it was the correct version for
Oxygen
Office Professional 2.4.0. I went the further step of installing
Java
6 updates 5, 6 as well, but Writer only put a check mark next to
Java
6 update 4 again as the correct version, so I uninstalled Java 6
updates 5, 6, leaning Java 6 update 4 as the only Java install on my
computer, guess that's the right one. For this non-techie it seems
to
work. Thanks, Ken.


You are right Gary. The app chose Java 6 update 4. But when 1.5.1
update 15 was the only Java install on my computer, the app won't
choose it. So I guess Java 6 update is the correct one for this app.
All is well again. Thanks.


I tried that Gary but the app won't put a checkmark next to it, only
Java 6 update 4. By the way that app is the fuller version of Open
Office 2.4.0, the free office program similar to Microsoft Office.
