How do I get Java Virtual Machine on Windows XP?

[Joony]

Install on demand came up and I press download for Java Virtual Machine and it takes me to a microsoft page which says

"We're sorry. Automatic installation of Microsoft Virtual Machine is no longer provided for Microsoft Windows XP."

uh, what do I do?

You cant get it from microsoft anymore, you can however get it from Sun
Here!
Just Download the windows instalation and your good to go!
And get back to your game of yahoo pool!

hrm wow, does this thing has to do with Sun sueing microsoft over java technologies?

 

[CrackRabbit]

Pretty much.
Its rather annoying that they dont tell you what to do though...

 

[Joony]

hrm, i liked java virtual machine, all this sun stuff installed this useless console crap I would probably never use in my life unless I learn java

 

[CrackRabbit]

but it works, and all it does when its running is put a nice lil java logo in your taskbar

SUN is win.

I believe you can disable the console in the settings

Here is a link to the last version that MS put out (build 3805, March 29, 2002), which was discussed in this security bulletin.

Yes there's a Java Plugin configuration in the Windows Control Panel.
