Installtation of JDK 1.6.0_11 installs in System32 folder

Hi,
I have installed java 1.6.0_11 on my window vista enterprise 32-bit system. I was happy until I found out that ( despite the fact that is tells you that it installs java under C:\ProgramFiles) that it added:
java.exe
javaws.exe
javaw.exe
in my C:\Windows\System32 folder.
Even if I change my PATH I will see java 6 even when I need to use java 5. This is due to my path that has System32 before my java 5 in path.
Can I just put my java 5 first in path? Or is there an easier way?

Some actually have an error in the installer that fails to overwrite versions already there with newer ones, leading to no end of trouble with "IllegalClassVersionExceptions" (or what was that one again) until the versions in the Windows tree are manually deleted.
Even if I change my PATH I will see java 6 even when I need to use java 5. This is due to my path that has System32 before my java 5 in path.
Can I just put my java 5 first in path?Of course you can!
Wont' work though. The content of the Windows tree will take presedence over any other entry, java*.exe will need to be explicitly deleted there if you don't want them used.

Update JRE 1.4.2_08 to JDK 1.5.0_11 get "Time Out 61" Error on MI Client

Hi,
we have updated our System to SPS 14 (MW+BE) to make our clients vista ready. I have create a new setup package and updated the Java version of the client to jdk 1.5.0_11. After Starting the client I get the "Time Out 61 Error". The Startup Output seems to be good, all variables are set. And I dont know what to do.

Hi,
Note 1086971
To install and launch MI Client on Windows Vista OS, install SUN JDK/JRE 1.5 Update 11 and higher. This is because only this version of SUN J2SE supports Windows Vista OS. For details please refer to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/system-configurations.html.
I think I have to install this version of Java.

File.createTempFile seems to be broken in JDK 1.6.0_11

Hi!
Can anyone confirm please?
On (German) Windows XP systems, since JDK 1.6.0_11, there seems to be a serious bug in the implementation of File.createTempFile: After having created such a temp file, using getPath() or getAbsolutePath() may show a broken path, with abbreviated path components.
Here is an example result path (broken):
"C:\DOKUME~1\schneid\LOKALE~1\Temp\temp_file6617344501941011051.tmp"
As you can see, the directory "DOKUMENTE_UND_EINSTELLUNGEN" (German version of Windows XP) is abbreviated to "DOKUME~1".
I have attached an executable Java class that shows the problem.
If someone confirms, then I will post an issue.
Best,
Michael

Hi Danny!
So you are saying that this is a valid path specification in Windows? I did not know this. And I do not remember to ever have seen this before with Java.
Is there a reason why this "abbreviated" form is used in Java?
Has this changed recently, or did I simply never found it before?
Can this be behavior be changed to the complete path form? I like to call 'get[Absolute]Path()' in log messages and test cases, but want to see the complete path in such a case. I would like to avoid getCanonicalPath() in such cases, because this method declares an exception.
Cheers,
Michael

JDK 1.4.2 installation options

Hi,
Can someone point me to documentation of all installation options for JDK 1.4.2 (windows)? I know how to create silent install but options for ADDLOCAL are needed (I wanto to silent install in custom path with private SDK only).

To "install" the SDK (or 1.5's JDK) only doesn't require an installer. Just copy the SDK files into the desired directory - Ther are no external references (Registry) to the SDK.. Then to run the programs, provide the full path to the executables - or set a path variable.

How to rollback JDK 1.6.0_29 to JDK 1.6.0_11 on linux

Hi,
We are having problem with ODI release 11.1.1.5 link editor option because of the JDK 1.6.0_29.
Can you please provide solution for rolling it back to the older version(1.6.0_11) on linux m/c
Thanks !!

Apparently Oracle saw no use for such a download as its gone. But there is a reason why you need administration rights to install it and you don't have those rights - ask the person that does have administration rights to install it in a controlled way.
If you really must break the rules, install the JDK on a machine where you do have admin rights, zip it up and copy it to the machine where you do not have rights. You won't have the browser plugin and you'll have to bind jar files to javaw.exe yourself if you want to be able to run executable jars by double clicking them.

Sapinst stopped at step 35 (or 36) - "Start Java engine"

There were some solutions that suggested giving "ALL" permissions to the SIDADM and SAPServiceSID users to the disk drives that we are installing the software on - we did that as well, but it did not help us. Java engine won't just start. jcontrol would just die with the same error.
After spending enormous number of hours sifting through very few documents found on this error - I got fed up and here is what I did when I got the "JdkDetection_nnnn.class not found" error:
1. Logged in to the server as SIDADM
2. Opened a windows command prompt
3. ran this command --   jcontrol pf=D:\usr\sap\SID\SYS\profile\SID_DVEBMGS00_hostname
4. waited for 15mins
5. Restarted sapinst
6. Continued successfully
I am thinking that jcontrol was having a difficult time to start for the first time at Step 35 (or 36) during sapinst. When I started it on the command line with just the profile as the parameter - it pulled in all the required configuration from the database and started the dispatcher and server successfully. After that - installation went on smoothly.
Hope this helps.

Jdk-7u3-windows-x64 installation issues

Trying to download whole JDK & JRE and NOT installation programs

Hi all,
I want to download the JRE and JDK in one go and not download an installation program for each one. Ive searched everywhere but surely sun must provide these? Also does anyone know where i can get my hands on a downloadable version of the API docs?
Many thanks

Please note that this applies to the currrent java version installed on "standard" windows systems, only.
To download the current version of Java, go here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html
and click on the word DOWNLOAD in the column labeled SDK in this line: Windows Offline installation (info)
The API documentation can be downloaded from this same page, just scroll down...
After downloading, click on this page of installation instructions and read through #6:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/install-windows.html
Install the software according to the preceeding instructions. During the installation process, you will be asked if you want to install a public JRE. Answer YES, this is the separate JRE that gets installed in C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_01.
If you encounter problems, see the section "Troubleshooting the Installation" in the installation instructions.

JDK 1.6 u12 installation on Windows XP as non-admin user

I am working on a machine which does not grant my user the admin rights. I had wanted to use JDK with Netbeans. The Netbeans was available as ZIP file, but it required pre-installed JDK. I am not able to install JDK (latest version 1.6 u12) as non-admin user. Is this even possible and how?
Operating System : Windows XP (SP3)
JDK Version : 1.6 update 12
User : Non-Administrator
Thanks,
Akbar.

Contact your admin and ask him to install or to give you local admin rights.

Ouch, Windows JDK 1.4.2_02 installer bug!

The offline installer keeps telling me
"A path with a semi-colon in it, is not supported for this product.
Please select a directory path without a semi-colon.".
However I did not alter the default path "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_02"!
Can it be Sun never tested the installer at all?
Or am I the only one having this problem?
I guess someone hard-coded the test to use the Unix path separator ":".
Stephen

Memory leak with ThreadStackTrace in libjvm.so (jdk 1.5.0_11)

I posted this initially in "Desktop > Runtime Environment > Java Runtime Environment (JRE)", but am reposting here since this may be a more appropriate place. Here's a link to the original post:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5156031&tstart=0
I'm trying to track down the cause of some memory growth in a java application. In my tests, the java heap appears to remain stable, but the overall memory footprint of the jvm process continues to grow (observed with pmap).
I've run my application with libumem and have found what appears to be the culprit, but the memory allocation is in libjvm.so and I'm looking for ideas what might cause it.
uname -a for my host
SunOS thehost 5.10 Generic_118822-18 sun4u sparc SUNW,Netra-440
and I'm using Java 1.5.0_11
Here is the trace from libumem:

It looks like this leak occurrs when getStackTrace() is called on a Thread.
I've found that the included program will continually allocate memory on the process heap until the JVM cannot allocate memory and it exits with the following exception.
Exception java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: requested 16 bytes for C_Heap: ResourceOBJ. Out of swap space?
import java.lang.StackTraceElement;

public class TraceIt {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Starting trace");
int i = 0;
while (true)
if (i%100 == 0) System.out.println(i);
StackTraceElement[] se = Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace();
i++;
} Any ideas what would cause this? Is it a JVM bug?

JDK 1.3.1_01a installs incorrectly.

I installed the last update of 1.3.1_01a.
The installation step seems OK.
I choose the default directory.
But, when I try to launch an applet from within IE, it complains that roughly (translating from french):
"Unable to load Java execution environment from <��\bin\hotspot\jvm.dll>"
I presume this is a little problem with PATH environment variables or something. But I know nothing about Windows.
Any help is welcome

Do keep in mind that IE uses it's own version of Java. The one you installed has nothing to do with IE.
Sounds like you may have an Internut Exploder problem. :o) Try upgrading your version of Internet Explorer.

installs the 64 bit .dll to: \sysWOW64\macromedia\flash\ folder. So, they're exacly reversed.
I uninstalled it completely - went well. Then removed 1 remaining file in one of the above paths, then reinstalled. Did the same thing.
Before I did all this - I was *very sporadically* seeing the FlashPlayerPlugin_12_0_0_77.exe file, running (kinda "sitting") in background, in task manager. It never came to foreground w/ a UI, asking for anything. Couldn't figure out what it was, until started looking in the installation folders.
That's what lead to discovery the files were in wrong folders.
Anyone heard of this?
BTW, "Nayana" of Adobe Support chat, is a few bricks shy of a load. Or I am. I couldn't create an acct for forums. She kept saying, you don't need an acct - "just post your question. Other people will answer it."

EDIT: Seems there's no error in Flash installing to wrong folders, only error in my brain. Why didn't someone stop me from embarrassing myself?
System32 (in a 64 bit OS / architecture) is for 64 bit drivers, files; SysWOW64 is for 32 bit apps running in 64 bit OS.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WoW64
WoW64 (Windows 32-bit on Windows 64-bit) is a subsystem of the Windows operating system capable of running 32-bit applications and is included on all 64-bit versions of Windows

End Edit.
Thanks for info on attaching images. A bit different than most forums. There's no "preview post" before submitting?
Screenshots of the 2 flash folder contents.
NOTE: I attached full FlashInstall.log earlier. I opened the 1.25 MB (text) file in an editor - copied contents to clipboard > paste to forum reply screen. Immediately locked up Firefox like a big dog. Couldn't perform any functions in Fx - not even reload or close browser. At same time, Fx memory use was continually climbing; to nearly 2 GB when I killed it. Won't make that mistake again.
Been many yrs since Fx locked up, doing anything. That aside, Adobe is definitely "different" than most forums. Almost like a person w/ no $ to use one of the many forum softwares available.
