What is this and how do I change it so that I am not asked
for this download, which by the way, doesn't exsist.

I am on a network, win 98, not much wlse I can give.

Any help is appreciated
 
ERC, This works:

Read the instructions and download to within a clean folder...double click
on it from within there....reboot and you'll see a brief black DOS
box...that's a good sign. Also go to Internet Options/Advanced tab and make
sure you have MS Java VM items checked. Reboot again if necessary. Luck,
JoAnne
 
Hi ERC - The simplest way to fix the Java "Install on Demand" or similar
message problem is the following:

If your OS is Win2000 SP2, SP3 but NOT SP4 then:

Download and install the MS Java VM v. 3805 from here:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/m..._510A502BA8F9B6F19230BB2BCCE87D5474AC9DCD.exe
Then update to v. 3810 of the MS Java VM from here:
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...-9b18-423356321682/Q816093_W2K_SP4_X86_EN.exe

If you're Win2000, SP4, then you appear to have two choices at this
point. Either use Sun Java, or AT YOUR OWN RISK (and I'm not even sure
that this will work) if you saved the necessary files when you
installed, you can try uninstalling SP4 to roll back to SP3 or SP2, then
installing 3805 and 3810 as above, then re-installing SP4.



For all other OS's:

Download and install the MS Java VM v. 3805 from here:
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/msjavx86.exe
Then update to v. 3810 of the MS Java VM from here:
http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail.php3?fid=1050022631 (Note that
this download is also supposed to be for Win2000, but DON"T use it for
that OS - use the link above.)


You can test whether Java is working on your machine at the following
sites:

http://www.pocoso.de/pocoso052.html
http://www.clan.lib.ri.us/clan/javatest.html
http://www.fitwise.com/testjava.asp (both 1.0 and 1.1 and what's
installed)
http://coglab.wadsworth.com/support/browsercheck.html
http://www.ces.clemson.edu/webct/browser_detect.html

and you can test Javascript here:
http://www.dancespots.net/browsertest.htm

and check whether you have the MS VM installed and which version here:
http://www.visualware.com/support/javasupport.html

Be aware, however, that after Jan 2, 2004, MS will apparently no longer
be distributing Java or providing any support for Java including
security fixes. (It's unclear as to how 6/26/03 court decision will
affect this) See here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/evaluation/news/jre.asp so you
might want to start thinking about the future.

You can get the Sun Java J2SE RunTimes or SDK here:
http://java.sun.com/downloads/index.html (all versions - select using
the dropdown)

Sun also offers an automatic download and install of the 1.4 Java
plug-in here: http://java.sun.com/getjava/download.html

Both Java VM's can co-exist on your machine quite nicely. Just select
which one you want to use in Tools|Internet Options|Advanced and restart
all IE browsers. Here, courtesy of Michel Gallant, MVP Security, is a
tiny utility which allows you to toggle and view status of your current
Java VM vendor associated with IE:
