Installing JavaDK
« on: December 16, 2010, 05:45:03 pm »

(Not sure if this is the right place to post this, to be honest. I'll move it if needed.)

Hi. I'm trying to install the Java development kit onto my PC, but I've hit problems. Whenever I download it from the Oracle Website, it installs fine. However, I can't get it to boot up correctly. Furthermore, it stops java from working at all on my computer. (That really hurts my Minecraft addiction) Does anyone know how to get it running?

Computer Specs:
Windows Vista Home Premium

Processor: AMD Athalon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ 2.00 GHz
memory (RAM): 3454 MB (3.37 GB)
System type: 32-bit Operating System

That's weird, JDK + Netbeans works fine here. It may be a problem with 64 bit systems, but I can't check that.

But I'm on a 32-bit OS? Are you? Or are you on 64-bit?

EDIT: I installed the netbeans/JDK package, and it works fine, but the Java in my browser (Example: Minecraft) no longer works.

Sounds like a problem with classpaths.

Little dinky 15 letter long addresses.

do me a favor, check
control panel-
java control panel-
java runtime environment settings.

tell me what it says under the path variable.
