Link to JRE download page

Link to JRE download page
I maintain a free Java program which can be started from the Web-site.
On the Web-site I need to tell how Java is downloaded and installed.
What download page should I link to ?
I found only http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.
However, this seems to be a download page for developers and JRE is described among
other technologies and programming tools.
I guess there is somewhere a download page for end-users but I
did not find it even with the site map.

http://java.com is intended for end users.
Note that this site does not necessarily feature the most up-to-date Java version (right now, the version being served up is 1.5.0_09, as opposed to the most current 1.6.0.) Clicking "Manual Update" then "Download other Java software versions " leads to instructions for them.

Dead links on the Download Page

I noticed a few of the downloads on the Flex page were not working... couldn't figure out a better place to mention this so I decided to post here. Anyone know a better spot? Anywho, the two links I tried to hit were:
http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/download?build=3.0.1.1092&pkgtype=2
http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/download?build=3.2.0.3794&pkgtype=2
They are the two sdk's supported for the FlexCover project.

JDK/JRE Download Page has Wrong File

Hello,
On the JDK and JRE download pages, the download for Windows Itanium (IA64) actually contains the AMD64 (x64, x86_64) download, even though the file itself is labeled as IA64. Where can I download the Windows Itanium JDK (or even JRE at this point--I just need Java)? And who can I get in touch with to have this issue rectified?
Thanks,
Nick

Intel and Amd's implementations of x64 are basically the same. It's just Intel's Itanium architecture that's radically different. Originally it was supposed to be the replacement for x86, but it ended up in a niche server market. My point is is that the two architectures require differently compiled binaries. Java.com doesn't even list the IA64 binaries as most home users wouldn't have their own Itanium server. That's why you have to come to the Oracle page to get it. The IA64 download says it is meant for the Itanium processor so that only those with Itanium machines will download it. My issue is that the person at Oracle who posted the download doesn't know the difference and is posting the two as if they're interchangeable. While most users won't notice the difference, the few who actually need the Itanium binaries will.

The link "go to download page" in the downloads window is greyed out, how do I enable it?

When I open the Firefox downloads window and select a file I had previously downloaded and right click on it, the "Go To Download Page" selection is greyed out, it wont let me click on it.

i downloaded this. when I add it to Firefox is says it's incompatible with Firefox v22. v22 is messing with my "flow". I hate updates that mess with how my stuff was working beforehand.
hmm, wonder can I go back to the previous version of Firefox that WAS working with my "download" button showing on every youtube page i viewed. how does one go back to the previous version of Firefox (better question, what WAS the previous version of Firefox?). I am not liking v22 and have taken it off auto update now.

Bad link in JDeveloper download page

In http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/jdev/index.html page, I can't download Oracle JDeveloper 10g (Version 9.0.5.2, build 1618) because it's link (http://www.oracle.com/go/?&Src=1952635&Act=33) is not working.

This link works fine for me. Please clear your browser cache and re-try...

Download page request: Link to manual download page

To the Adobe website code monkeys,
Please include a link to http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html on http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ . DO NOT assume that the user is downloading flash player for the browser they are visiting the site in. While this is *usually* the case, it's UNACCEPTABLE (and frankly, stupid) to obfuscate the download links for other versions of flash player.
My specific intention was to download a copy of flash player for Steam. You made this very difficult.
Your sincerely,
Enraged internet troll

This is a user forum; please use the Adobe website code monkeys feedback forum for your request.
Anyway, I think this is a useless (and frankly, stupid) request, as everybody already knows that distribution URL. (And those who don't can easily google it.)

I get no link to download iTunes on the download page

I was on Apple's website trying to download 5.0 I am using a PC with Windows XP. There is no link on the download page that will allow me to download the upgrade to 5.0. I tried to contact their technical support to explain the problem on "their" website and then I was told to contact HP because I have an HP "Apple" IPod, then after I asked the rep how could HP help me with an APPLE website he said that they could not and that he could help me for $49 since I had an HP Ipod. I asked him how could he help me? I said for $49 you will troubleshoot the website for me for software that is free how will that help me? Then I said that I am only calling you because it is your website and there should be some department that escalates problems with the website and he said that there is not, that there is no way for anyone to contact the programmers of the website to escalate problems...? The reason I was concerned is I accessed the website from another computer and it worked from that computer which was a MAC. I looked at the discussion board and did not see a similar problem. I am on apple.com/itunes/downloads and where it is blue on the left and orange on the right there is no link on the blue side that ask for my email and has the download link it is just solid blue.

This is the link: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Fill in the info, click download. Works on 3 different machines here, with both IE and firefox. Maybe your computer has some sort of problem, or you're using a proxy or something like that.
But the website is fine.

Green download link not showing in Firefox download page , currently using IE 6

I am currently running IE 6 on Windows 2000.
I want to install Firefox.
From the page
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Windows
I clicked on the link at "Firefox download page" to reach
the page
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ie.html?from=getfirefox
The "green download link " is not showing up on this page.
The message bar says " Done with errors"
Help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you cor-el.
I am redirected to
http://mirror.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/pub/mirrors/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.9/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%203.6.9.exe
but nothing shows.
Something is blocking the download. Prabably because this is an exe file. There is a Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition installated, but I cannot find where the restriction is defined.
I am not that familiar with whether there is a some Windows configuration effecting this restriction
Also I am using Verizon FIOS, I do not suppose this is a source of the problem.

Broken link attempting to download 8.0.5.1 EE for Linux

The download link for Oracle 8.0.5.1 EE for Linux is broken. Clicking the link on the download page goes to http://download-east.oracle.com/Oracle8051EE_Intel.tgz which returns an error 404 (Not found). Attempting to download the standard edition results in the same error for ...8051_Intel.tgz, as well.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where i can find this exact version? I'm fully aware that it is VERY OLD and no longer supported...
thanks!
danka!
muchos gracias!

Told to upgrade to 31.6 but download page gives me 31.5

I get a pop-up telling me TB 31.6 is available, with a link to the release notes:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/31.6.0/releasenotes/
The release notes contain a link to the Download page:
https://www.mozilla.org/thunderbird/
But when I click on it, it takes me to this page:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/
and its download link is to 31.5:
https://www.mozilla.org/thunderbird/download/?product=thunderbird-31.5.0&os=osx&lang=en-US
Now, I'm a sophisticated user, and know how to copy a link into the locator bar and edit it, so I change the 5 to a 6 and get the 31.6 package. But your less-sophisticated user is going to be unpleasantly surprised.
I'm on a Mac running 10.9.5.

Thank you. I had a similar experience myself.
I don't usually use that link; here in Linux my experience is that it either gets me a 32-bit edition (I need the 64-bit build), or runs afoul of the elevated privileges needed to update or install the program, so I generally go direct to the ftp download site:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/
(I've assumed all this happens for me because I choose to download from the mozilla site rather than accept what is offered via the linux repositories.)

Where can I get a 32-bit Itunes? The download page keeps linking to a 64-bit version.

The Apple download pages keeps linking me to a 64-bit download. Not a 32-bit.

Itunes for windows 32 bit is 10.3.1 Go to apple downloads and type in itunes 10.3.1. Should give you a link.

So I can update my Oracle Java Applet Plug-in to Development Kit 7, Update 65, can you link me to the correct Oracle download page from your Plugin Update page?

When I periodically accessed your Plugin Check and Updates web page in the past, I really appreciated you connecting me to the correct Plugin Updates vendor web page when I clicked on your red Update Now button. This time, however, your Java Applet Plug-in "Update Now" button linked me to the Oracle Java "7u65 Updates Release Notes" instead of the usual download page. It seems rather unexpected for me, or any other conscientious user for that matter, to search the appropriate "JDK 7U65" file download from the Oracle website.
Thank you,

This is getting way too complicated for normal peop.
First: the "Update Plugin" does not work, it goes to a page with all sort of computer jargon but no "Update button" anywhere.
Second: this forum jscher2000 gives a good solution, but I downloaded the incorrect java update, because my computer is 64 bit. how am I supposed to know my browser is what it refers to and that FF is 32 bit.....???$%^&*()??
Third: some of those "critical update" software are not even on my computer....well at least I don't think it is, I search for "shockwave" and did not find it.
I love Moz FF but the updating is starting to get out of control. why give us (computer idiot) an auto recommendation update not tailored to our computer? Perhaps in big letters at the top there should be an explanation "this is general suggestion these plugin needs updating, not to tailored with your computer, do your own research"
and/or add info I need to know like the 32 bit thing, took me forever to download the 64bit update for JAVA and it was the wrong one.
Now I am just afraid to update anything for FF because it is too darn confusing.

HT5655 After clicking Safari prompt box to "Download Flash..." , I'm linked to the Adobe Flash Player Download page. I click the "Download Now". The page advance to next page in the download process but then immediately goes black and nothing happens.

After clicking Safari prompt box to "Download Flash..." , I'm linked to the Adobe Flash Player Download page. I click the "Download Now".

System preferences firewall is off and apps are allowed from anywhere and in Safari other plug ins are allowed and cookies are not blocked and pop up windows are not blocked. Why won't Flash Player download?

Don't DL Flash from web sites. If you have Adobe Flash installed it should be in System Preferences and you can find the latest version and download from there.
If you are installing for the first time,this is where to DL it.

My school has a website. The professor uploads files in Word. When I click on the link at home using Pages, the download window opens with nothing in it and Safari opens with a blank in the address book. What Could be wrong? Wrong set up?

Hi Jo,
If I'm interpreting this correctly, the Word file downloads correctly, but when you open it in Pages, the link(s) which your instructor has embedded in the Word file are not correctly translated into Pages.
If the link shows the actual address, you should be able to copy that and paste it into the location bar in Safari, press return, and get to the website that way.
An alternate route might be to download one of the open source Office applications, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice, or NeoOffice. These are written to more closely emulate the behaviours of MS Word than Pages, and may provide better support for links embedded in Word files.

Barry

Can I provide a local jre download link?

Legally, can I provide a local jre download link for our customers?
I have a product that requires a specific JRE family (1.5) and I'd really like to provide a link during our web client discovery to a local copy (on tomcat) of the jre.
I know that netbeans and eclipse etc, bundle the jre without any legal issues, but I'm worried that providing a link for web clients (even if they are on a local intranet) may not be legal.
I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

Good advice.
The section of the license agreement of interest is:
B. License to Distribute Software. Subject to the

Technology Restrictions of these Supplemental Terms,
Sun grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable,
limited license without fees to reproduce and
distribute the Software, provided that (i) you
distribute the Software complete and unmodified and

significant and primary functionality to the Software,
(iii) you do not distribute additional software
intended to replace any component(s) of the Software,
(iv) you do not remove or alter any proprietary

any and all Programs and/or Software.But to be more specific, the line that I'm worried about is:
you distribute the Software complete and unmodified and only bundled as part of, and for the sole purpose of running, your Programs
In my case, the client is using a browser, and would be logged in and then provided a link to our local download. All for the purpose of running our applets. However, there is nothing keeping the client from then moving on and using the JRE for something else.
Therefore, I'm thinking that breaks the license.
I think I am forced to provide a download link to Sun....
/sigh
