Hello Bob and Dave,
Bob, no I went to www.java.com ((Bob, the instructions at Secunia DO
actually specify www.java.com, not http://java.sun.com/ ) and clicked on the
Download radio button. Clicking on that took me to
http://java.com/en/download/windows_ie.jsp and the page is entitled:
DOWNLOAD using Internet Explorer browser
JAVA SOFTWARE FOR WINDOWS
Download Details
FREE - Java Runtime Environment Version 5.0 Update 9
(filesize: ~7.1MB)
Approximate download times:
Low-bandwidth ~40 minutes
High-bandwidth ~ 3 minutes
I ran the online install from that page, and my computer showed that Java
Version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_09-b03) was installed.
Then, after reading your and Dave M's replies here, I uninstalled Java
Version 1.5.0 via the Control Panel and I went to
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp and downloaded the JDK 6 --
The Java SE Development Kit (JDK) file: "jre-6-windows-i586.exe." I
installed Java using THAT file. The installation went fine and I went back
to Secunia: Once more I was told that I didn't have Java installed, and I
should go to www.java.com to get the latest version of Java.
Anyway, I was still determined so I went to the
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp link that Dave provided and
downloaded the "jre-1_5_0_09-windows-i586-p-s.exe" file. Once again I
uninstalled Java Version 1.5.0 via the Control Panel and re-installed Java
using the latest (jre-1_5_0_09-windows-i586-p-s.exe) installation file. The
installation went fine. I closed IE6 and re-launched IE6 and I went to the
"Test Your Java Installation page" at
http://www.java.com/en/download/ins...icrosystems+Inc.&os=Windows+XP&os_version=5.1
I was cheerfully assured by Sun >) that:
"We detected your Java environment as follows;
Description Your Environment
Java Runtime Vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.
Java Runtime Version 1.5.0_09
CONGRATULATIONS, you have the Latest version of Java!"
So...back to Secunia Inspector I went. I clicked on the "Start Now" radio
button. This time I was NOT told that I didn't have Java installed, and it
took me to the next page where I clicked on the "Start Now" radio button. I
saw the message: "Status / Currently Processing:" appear. About a minute
later I received the message that: "There might be problems loading the Java
Applet in your browser."
It sounds like I'm making progress...... :> :>
