Installing JDK after upgrading JRE several times - WIndows XP

I am not certain if this is the correct forum for posting JDK installation questions (for Windows XP)? If not, please direct me to the correct one.
I would like to install the JDK for the very first time but I noticed that I have at least two versions of the JRE and a few updates for both. Should I uninstall both JRE's and their updates before installing the latest JDK OR do I merely overinstall?
I have the following:
J2SE Runtime 5.0 Update 10
J2SE Runtime 5.0 Update 11
Java 2 Runtime, SE v1.4.2_01
Java 6 Update 20
Java SE Runtime 6 Update 1
Not sure what the difference between J2SE and Java 6 and whether or not I need both to run applications.
Thanks in advance for clearing up my confusion.

You do eventually want to do programming, right?

You only need one instance of Java to rule them all.

Well I would make your next step finding that out. I suggest you start your adventures here: http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/

  • Crystal Reports ClickOnce install fails after upgrade to run time 13.0.2

    I realize this is very similar to two other posts but the ClickOnce failure was not addresses in the two threads I found.
    Visual Studio 2010 V 10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel
    .NET Framework V 4.0.30319 SP1Rel
    Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0 BuildVersion=13.0.2.469.Cortez_CR4VS (from ProductId.txt in the download folder)
    Application was original developed using CR BuildVersion=13.0.1.220.Cortez_CR4VS
    So since I upgraded this week, if a user clicks the Launch link on the deployment web page the application loads the appl;ication update and starts. Does not even check with Crystal Reports but everything seems to work.
    The new version of the Crystal Reports runtime tries to install for users I have that enjoy clicking the run button. The install fails and points at a log file, the key part of which is
    Installing using command 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiexec.exe' and parameters ' -I "C:\DOCUME1\clyle\LOCALS1\Temp\VSDC8.tmp\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_2.msi" -q '
    Process exited with code 1603
    Status of package 'SAP Crystal Reports Runtime Engine for .NET Framework 4.0' after install is 'InstallFailed'
    Uninstalling the previous version manually alleviates the failure as does manually running the msi on the target machine. But that kind of defeats the purpose of ClickOnce. Looking at product.xml that accompanies the runtime download I see it tests for the 13.0.2 version and bypasses the install if it finds it but it does not check for earlier versions.
    Another thread I read indicated changing the switches in the install command would work but I am not clear on how to do that from ClickOnce, I cannot locate where the command is being given. Is there a way to get it to test for previous versions and delete them or force an overwrite using the ClickOnce?

    Ludek,
    Did this issue above every get resolved? 
    Here is what I have:
    ClickOnce, Windows form app that uses Crystal.  I upgraded to VS 2012 and Crystal right along
    with it. 
    I only want the 32bit version to install, even on 64bit
    machines.  I have modified the
    product.xml file to allow for this.  Also
    have some machines with version 13.0.0 and 13.0.1 of the Crystal ClickOnce msi
    file.  Would like to get everyone up to
    13.0.6.
    I am doing ALL this testing on clean VMWare installs.
    Windows 7 x64 and Windows XP x86.
    I force the 32bit install in the product file. (This I believe
    is working correctly) And I do a version check, this is where the problem comes
    in… Below, from the product file:
      <InstallChecks>
        <RegistryCheck
    Property="CRRuntime32Version" Key="HKLM\SOFTWARE\SAP
    BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Crystal Reports"
    Value="CRRuntime32Version" />
      </InstallChecks>
    Note to path in the registry. This path which is installed
    by CR is different for Win7 vs WinXP, not sure why?  In Win7 the path is: 
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SAP
    BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Crystal Reports
    Also if you have version 13.0.0 installed there is no entry
    in the registry for the version number at all!
    The log file also show that it can’t find the version if 13.0.0 is
    installed.
    Admittedly the error log shows that it is somehow finding
    the version if it is 13.0.1 (nothing for 13.0.0)? But even though I have it set
    to skip the 13.0.6 install if the version check is 13.0.1 or higher Crystal
    attempts to install anyway, and it fails in the process, halting the entire
    ClickOnce install.
    In summary.  I need to
    be able to check the version currently installed and update it to 13.0.6.  This fails and seems to be a bug?   Hopefully there is a work around. 
    Thanks,
    Jim

  • Trying to install itunes on win 8.1.  keep getting error apple application support not found.  asks me to uninstall and install itunes.  i tried several times and keep getting same error.

    trying to install itunes on win 8.1.  keep getting error apple application support not found.  asks me to uninstall and install itunes.  i tried several times and keep getting same error.

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • After upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?

    after upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?
    before the upgrade, i could open time machine without the need for having the back up disk plugged in.

    Ok. I got it to work, sort of....
    As I mentioned before I tried the "disk password" and the "Time capsule Password" options to see if I can start the back up again or start a new backup. Neither worked. So I tried the firmware down grade, but like you said that did not work. I then decided to try the "Account password" option and I have never used this option before becasue it states that if there is data on the drive it would not be acessable after creating an account. Since I wiped out the disk that was nno problem. When I created the new account and choose the drive it asked for the user name and password. I entered the info for the new account I just created(FYI this has nothing to do with your login username and password), bingo! It worked!
    Now I have two partitions on the TC disk. The old one and now the new account. I am guessing this is to be used if I have multiple computers, which I don't.
    I any case, I am going to wipe out everything again and try again to do a backup the way I had it before.

  • How to install iPhoto after upgrading to yosemite?

    how to install iPhoto after upgrading to yosemite?

    Download it from the App Store as Matt suggested.  You may have to move the current version to the Trash Bin (don't delete yet), go to the App Store and look for iPhoto 9.6 under purchases.  It will be free.
    What iPhoto version did you have prior to the Yosemite upgrade?  If it was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll also have to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on your library before opening it with iPhoto 9.6.

    Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.

  • Pre7 after upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 (Ultimate 64bit)

    I recently upgraded my Vista Ultimate (64bit) computer to Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit).  This was an upgrade, not a clean, fresh install.  Today is the first time I have tried to run PRE7 under Windows 7.  Prior to the upgrade, I had no problems to speak of with PRE7 and the PhotoShop.com Plus account that I set up with it.  Now whenever I start PRE7 under Windows 7, I get the "Install Full Content" dialog informing me that a reduced set of content has been installed and that I need to install the full set of content from the installation DVD.  Now believe me when I say that the full set of content was installed under Vista and that I never got such a dialog box prior to Windows 7.  In addition, after clicking OK to continue, the PhotoShop.com membership did not log on automatically as I am used to it doing.  I don't remember exactly now what I had to do, but to the best of my recollection, after I logged on to my account it was telling me that I needed to verify my account, which I did.  I subsequently received an email with a verification link in it.  After clicking on the link my account was verified and now when I start PRE7, it automatically logs me on to my PhotoShop.com account, as I am used to it doing.  I still get the "Install Full Content" dialog, though.  I thought I would ask in this forum if anyone else has experienced these two anomalous behaviors after ungrading to Windows 7, before I attempt to go thorough the motions of actually reinstalling the full content, which should not actually be necessary.
    Thank you,
    Charles Lawrence

    Why it's happening is a mystery. My guess would be that the upgrade in the OS is part of the problem, but that is just a guess. Some have reported that Win7 does the upgrade thing better than any previous OS, but others report all sorts of odd problems, when doing it this way.
    If you have the DVD, then I'd try a Repair Install, to see if it picks up the Functional Content.
    Otherwise, I am at a loss as to why, when you upgraded your OS, PrE 7 lost the link to that material.
    Good luck,

  • Re-install software after upgrade to Snow Leopard ....

    I upgraded to Snow Leopard and was not concerned about re-installing my original software because I had the discs.  When it came time the installer asks for the serial # off of the original boxes that it came in .... I keep my discs in a binder and do not have the boxes.  Is there a work-around for this issue.  I would appreciate any help I could get.
    Thank you .......... Dave

    I forgot to mention that I did a clean install because it is dual boot with Windows 7 .... the systems are both working great btw.  After I entered my question I found the original invoice from the Apple Store which states on it that the software Final Cut Express, Aperture, and Logic Express were preinstalled by them so even if I had the original disc boxes .... I was not aware that I required a serial # to install them.
    Thanks for your comments though ........... Dave

  • Ver 6 downloads but will not install on PC. Tried several times.

    when i open firefox, recommends to upgrade to ver 6. The doenload goes a head and asks me to restart, which I do. But the new version does not install. Tried this several times with same result. The working version is 4 yahoo addition 1.8. I also have a netbook which has the same problem.

    Kind of odd that they do the same thing. May imply something you've installed or done might be causing it.
    Have you booted from the install DVD (original disk shipped with each mac) and repaired the disk?
    After that, boot normally and run Repair Permissions from Disk Utility. Then, try again.
