About a year ago, I installed Secunia on my desktop. I finally got around to putting it on my notebook. This was an issue I remember going through back then, only I don't remember how I resolved it. Secunia shows: C:\Program Files(x86)\Java\JRE1.6.0_02\bin\java.exe Known issues with Sun Java JRE1.6/6x (Requires uninstall) Go to Add & Remove Programs Solution: Update to a fixed version JDK and JRE 6 Update 17 JDK and JRE 5.0 Updaate 22 Java SE for Business SDK and JRE 1.4.2_24 SDK and JRE 1.3.1_27 (for customers with Solaris) Under Control Panel>Programs and Features, I only show: Java 6 Update 2 Java 6 Update 17. There is nothing else listed for Sun Microsystems. Since I don't have Solaris, its safe to say I don't need the last download. If it doesn't appear anywhere, would I need the Java SE for Business SDK and JRE 1.4.2_24? Do I need to uninstall both Java 6 Update 2 and 17, and then reinstall the JDK and JRE 6 Update 17? Do I also need to install the JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 22? It would appear to be an older version. Thanks for the help. |

Hello Recruiter , JDK and JRE update 17 and 18 are both secure , you need one or the other . If you are not doing deveopment work you only need JRE . Whether you have any programmes which require any other versions I cannot say . You can locate each folder using PSI and then rename it and see if that gives problems ; if not you can delete it . I don't know if you know how to make use of PSI in "advanced" mode , so to be sure :- here are some instructions to help you first of all get the best out of PSI :- 1)use PSI in "advanced" mode ; 2)in the "settings" tab make sure that the box in the first/upper section is NOT ticked in order to have the maximum info available ; 3)tell us in which "tab(s)" your problem programme is located ; 4)in that tab , click on the + in the box at the left end of the programme , the page will expand ; 5)in the expanded page , tell us what is written in the "installation path" ; 6)in the "toolbox" section , lower down , the link "technical details" should confirm the installation path details ; 7)click on the link "open folder" and you will see more details concerning the location of the "problem" . Posting these details will help the Forum help you , if/when you have a problem . An alternative is to ensure that you have the latest Java version :ie: u17 or u18 : and then load and run JavaRa which will uninstall all previous versions of Java for you :- http://raproducts.org/ Ask if anything is not clear . Anthony PS: this link tells you a bit more about the Java names and uses :- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_%28programming_l... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_%28programming_l... Full link not working correctly :((, but you get the idea -- It always seems impossible until its done. Nelson Mandela |
