Deleting past Runtime  Environment Updates

Hello all. I'm trying to clean up some files on my computer and I've noticed while running the Add or Remove Programs feature of Windows XP that there are several Java Runtime Environment Update modules, numbered 4, 6, 9, and 10. I've also noticed that they are very large, generally over 100MB. Would I cause any major problems if I uninstalled everything exept 10, the most recent? Do I need to have all of them on my machine?
Thanks,
Neal Thompson

You should be fine if you uninstall everything except the latest update (10 in your case). The updates are independent, so you don't need all of them.

  • J2SE Runtime Environment Updates

    Is it okay to remove all of the updates that occurred before the latest release? I have updates through 5, and want to uninstall the first 4.

    Thanks. I also have a question about two other packages. I have the Java 2 SDK , SE 1.4.2_06, and the Java 2 Runtime Environment SE 1.4.2_06. I should leave the SDK alone, but uninstall the Java 2 Runtime Environment SE 1.4.2_06? These are in addition to the J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0, Update 7. Since I develop programs, I suppose I should leave the SDK untouched.
    EDIT: Oh, I forgot, I have a fourth package (J2SE Development KIt 5.0 Update 5)

    When opening the Java Control Panel 6 Update 14 on Windows 7, the text and other elements in the Java Control Panel are distorted as shown in this pic: http://jdash007.googlepages.com/javare614prob.jpg

    Sounds like a Windows problem, in light of this statement from sun about Java 6u14.
    This release is Windows 7 support-ready and includes support for Internet Explorer 8, Windows Server 2008 SP2, and Windows Vista SP2
    The Java Control Panel lives in the Windows world, not Java. It is a .cpl Windows program. Windows 7 is still pre-release.

  • J2SE Runtime Environment Update 2

    This broke my connection to the 5.0 sensors. I experienced crashes of the browser itself. I know this Java version isn't officially supported by Cisco along with the IDS sensors, but for anyone else experiencing this problem, uninstall the update from "add/remove programs" and you should be back to normal.
    -kpruett

    Just an FYI: the 5.0(1.1) version is a test version for a 5.0(2) Service Pack, and is not available for customer download.
    The 5.0(2) Service Pack is still under development and test, but should be made available fairly soon.
    In the meantime you will need to downgrade back to 1.5.0_01 to use IDM with version 5.0(1).
    Once 5.0(2) Service Pack is released then you will be able to use IDM with the newer 1.5.0_02 Java.

  • Java Runtime Environment Update

    Hi,
    The 'Vulnerability Scanner' keeps trying to install this update on my desktop PC. It runs for hours without completing and eventually I have to stop it so I can turn off the PC.
    Meanwhile I am having problems using a specific website and I am wondering if there could be a connection between these issues?
    Can anyone please advise what I can do to get this JRE update to install correctly?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Scrap that, the installation has just completed successfully! It must have been listening...

  • J2SE Runtime Environment - can I delete old versions?

    Hello - I know nothing about JAVA so this may be a silly question. My computer has been running very slowly lately, and I noticed I have 3 J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 updates - update 6, 9, and 10. Can you tell me if I can delete the older updates? They're huge files, and I'd like to delete them to free up space if it's advisable.
    Thank you.

    Shouldn't, I repeat shouldn't, not won't, be a problem, but that won't help with your "running very slowly" problem.

  • Java Runtime Environment 6.0 update 11  NOT loading Java Applet

    As soon as I have installed Java Runtime Environment 6.0 update 11, my web based applications Applet is not loading. The applet only loads after minimize and the maximize my IE 6.0 Browser. As soon as I uninstalled (removed) Java Runtime Environment 6.0 update 11 from my system, everything works fine.
    I have Java Runtime Environment 6.0 update 3 and Java Runtime Environment 6.0 update 5 on my system. Please help to find a fix for this issue.

    Many of these strange browser problems can be solved by launching the applet using webstart. Is there any reason this applet has to be embedded in a browser window?

  • Updating Java Runtime Environment

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to update the Java 2 Runtime on my PC from 1.3.1_01 to 1.4.2_13.
    I've installed 1.4.2 on my PC but when I type "Java -version" on the cmd to check the version i still get
    java version "1.3.1_01"
    Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build

    Do I have to change anything?
    Your support is highly appreciated.

    Thank you for your reply.
    The OS is windows XP. I've checked the Add/Remove Programs, 1.3.1 is not there.
    My path variable shows the following:

    Any suggestions?

  • Java 6 update 5 vs. se runtime environment 6 update 1

    I noticed that I have both java 6 update 5 and se runtime environment 6 update 1 on my computer.
    Do I need both? What are the advantages of each? Is there a better version of Java that I should download instead? Where is the free download link? My e.mail address is: [email protected]

    you shouldn't need both. the newer one fixes stuff in older ones. Of course update 10 is out, so why not update to that.
    also, posting your email address is a good way to get spam. no one hear is going to email answers directly to you.

  • Runtime environment for the production apex instance

    My first goal is to export a full application from a full development environment to a runtime environment.
    The two environments are on dedicated servers.
    From Oracle Application Express documentation and Oracle Application Express Forum, I realized that to install an exported application into a runtime installation, you must:
    1) Export the workspace from the Application Express instance where the application was developed. The export file created contains information about the workspace, all the users in the workspace, and any groups in the workspace (if applicable).
    2) Use SQL*Plus to import your workspace in to the runtime environment.
    3) Export and then import your application (with Supporting Objects) using SQLPlus in to the runtime environment. The related files
    This means that to be able to import an application via SQL*Plus from a development environment to a runtime environment, the workspace must exist (with the identical workspace ID) in the runtime environment. And the best way to ensure that the workspace IDs are the same is to export the workspace from the development apex instance and import it into the runtime apex instance.
    Also, you can't change the application ID through SQL*Plus - so if you're importing the application via SQL*Plus, either a) that application ID can't exist, or b) if it does exist, it will be overwritten by the import (of course, in case b we don't export/import also supporting objects).
    I know that there are some tricks, like editing the application export file just to import into a workspace with a different ID in the production runtime environment. But i wuold like to be official supported ;)
    So in my case i think i could, for the first export/import:
    1) Convert the production apex instance from runtime environment into a full development environment.
    2) Export the workspace from the development instance using the apex administration services (in a text file).
    3) Import the exported workspace into the production instance using the text file created and SQLPlus connect as APEX_030200.
    FOR THE NEXT POINT 4 I ASSUME THAT EXPORTING/IMPORTING A WORKSPACE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SCHEMAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE WORKSPACE.
    4)
    a1) Create a new schema for the supporting objects of applications in the production instance with a DBA tool.
    a2) Assign the schema created in the production instance to the workspace imported from the development instance, using the apex administration services.
    or, if you want apex creating the schema for the supporting objects of applications:
    4)
    b1) Create a new workspace (with a new schema) in the production instance using the apex administration services.
    b2) Delete the workspace created in the production instance: the schema will not be removed.
    b3) Assign the schema created to the workspace imported from the development instance.
    5) Delete the users and eventually the groups in the imported workspace in the production instance, using the apex administration services.
    6) Change the name of the imported workspace in the production instance, using the apex administration services.
    7) Convert the production apex instance from full development environment to runtime environment.
    8) Export the application (with supporting objects) from development instance, using the export page.
    9) Import the application (with supporting objects) to the production instance using SQLPlus connect as APEX_030200.
    10) Export all associated files (related files) of the application (CSS, Images, Themes, ...) from developmente instance, using the tabs located at the top of the export page.
    11) Import the related files to the production instance using SQLPlus connect as APEX_030200.
    So, for next the next releases of the application i can again export the full application:
    1) Export the application (without supporting objects) from development instance, using the export page.
    2) Import the application (without supporting objects) to the production instance using SQLPlus connect as APEX_030200.
    3) Export all updated associated files (related files) of the application (CSS, Images, Themes, ...) from developmente instance, using the tabs located at the top of the export page.
    4) Import the exported related files to the production instance using SQLPlus connect as APEX_030200.
    or i can export and import single pages of the application.
    Excuse me for the long introduction, but the question is:
    what i have written is correct? Please let me know also your advice.
    Thanks a lot.
    Silvio

    HI,
    Thanks for responding.
    Should the APEX_ADMIN be available in a runtime environment?
    If so, we have missed a step in our installation.

  • How can I downgrade my Java version and Runtime Environment to 6?

    Hi, thanks for reading this in advance:
    I have a couple problems. Ever since Java Preferences was removed in one of Lion's updates I have been having trouble with java.
    How do I downgrade my java and runtime environment to java 6?
    When I go into terminal, and type java -version, this is what I get:
    java version "1.7.0_09"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_09-b05)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.5-b02, mixed mode)
    How do I downgrade the "java version" to 6 and how do I downgrade the SE Runtime Environment to 6?
    I accidentally installed 7 a couple days ago and I've been having trouble with some applications.
    Thank you so much.

    Dear Minionsman and everyone who reads this. I was so happy when i downgraded and i wanted to share it to all, I have found out why it says this in terminal
    java version "1.7.0_09"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_09-b05)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.5-b02, mixed mode)
    and why it says something different on java tester
    Its because java 7 blocks every java version below it.
    How do you downgrade?
    Well all you do is delete a few files
    INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
    1.Open Terminal
    2. Enter these commands
    sudo mkdir -p /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/disabled
    sudo mv /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/disabled
    sudo ln -sf /System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundle/Contents/Resources/JavaPlugin2_NPAPI .plugin /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin
    sudo ln -sf /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Commands/javaws /usr/bin/javaws
    3.
    Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and delete the JavaAppletPlugin.plugin bundle.
    4.
    Go to /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ and delete anything whose name starts with jdk1.7.0 or says Java 7 or something similar.
    5. now go to terminal and type
    java -version
    6.it should say something like this
    java version "1.6.0_35"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_35-b10-428-11M4508)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.10-b01-428, mixed mode)

  • The Java Runtime Environment cannot be loaded

    When viewing my website I get the above message. I click on ok, go into the site, but when changing pages I get the following "several java virtual machines running in the same process caused an error". On other computers there is no problem. The website was developed using Serif WebPlus 10 on Windows XP SP2.

    The Java Runtime Environment cannot be loaded, followed by multiple java machines in the same process causing an error. I had the same thing happen to me in IE version 7. Eventually I did a few radical things to fix the issue. One of the things I did, or combination of things, eventually fixed it. I'd close and re-open IE7 with each different thing I tried so as to reset it. I uninstalled every Java RTE update, and there were about 5 of them, and then reinstalled the latest (1.5 Update 10). I turned off Tabbed browsing (once it was fixed I turned it back on). From MS Control Panel - Java, General Tab, Delete Files... I deleted everything Java cached. From the Java Tab, View... Button, I removed all Java runtime parameters for the 1.5.0_10 line so it just starts up with defaults. (Basically undoing memory parameter fixes another thread said to try, I typed in to try and fix it, and this did not work "-Xmx256M" this setting caused more harm than good). Well, that's what I did, and now I can browse websites with Java again. It's probably a little radical, but the error message wasn't very helpful in pinpointing what exactly caused the problem in the first place. Good luck.

  • I am trying to install the "Java Runtime Environment" plugin. It is continuously showing as not available. What can I do to get round this?

    I am asked to install this update by an educational website.
    The sequence of events is:
    1. Message appears at interactive site on page "A plugin is needed to display this content." along with an Install Plugin button.
    2.Pressing the install button brings up a dialogue box, "Plugin Finder Service" with "Java Runtime Environment" ticked.
    3. I press "Next" to install. New dialogue box comes up showing "Java Runtime Environment" as "Not available" and states that no plugins were installed.
    4. The only availablre option "finish," closes the dialogue box.
    I have tried following instructions in help but these always bring me back to the same process. I have downloaded the most recent Java software and nothing has changed.
    Any ideas to successfully install "Java Runtime Environment." Maybe there's a successor plug-in.
    All help gratefully received.
    Thanks,
    Andrew Bramley

    Hello Andrew, try download [https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/whatis_java.xml Java Runtime Environment (JRE)] from the next link : https://www.java.com/en/download/ . If you can not then try the manual way from the next link : https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp (select the Windows Offline, filesize: 28.0 MB). In.... general, try to use the official sites when you install Java or flash etc.
    thank you

  • How to delete the runtime error in st22

    Hi all,
            How to delete the runtime error in ST22. I want to clear
    the list of short dump in st22
    is there any T.code or any table to clear?
    thanks in advance
    sundar.c

    Hi
    you cannot delete the dumps through any tcode.
    All the dumps are stored in table called SNAP, If there are more dumps the table gets filled therefore u have to reorganize the table.
    Run the report RSSNAPDL in SE38.
    or
    You have the default SAP background jobs, SAP_REORG_ABAPDUMPS which deletes the past dumps raised in the system.
    Scheduling the jobs in regular is very important
