Java VM

[muchlux]

Hi,

I would like to know if it`s possible to include Java VM into HFSLIPped W2K or XP (with IE)

Officially MS does not include their VM anymore. But Support is until end of 2007.

Does all users use Sun Java VM now?

The old MS Java VM is still available on some Support sites.

I ask this because I have encountered some IE crashes after browsing Java content with Sun Java VM.

Regards.

Getting MSJava to install on Windows 2000 or later is pretty hard, but not impossible. I am not sure about slipstreaming it, but you can run it in OEM install.

You need to make your own version if you want the latest version as a freely installing one. This is what i did. You need both builds 3809 and 3810 for this exercise.

extract these exe-files to different directories. You then copy "javatrig.exe" from 3809, overwriting the one in 3810. The command to run is as follows:

javatrig.exe /l /nowin2kcheck /exe_install /vercheck /wxret

You can pack the whole lot using IEXPRESS (available in Windows), and you have a general purpose one-stop installer. For multiple batch install, set the thing up with no install, etc. This is JAVA3810.SED. Put it in any directory.

Put this file in a working directory eg C:\SOURCE

Create a subdirectory MSJAVA86, and put all of the files from build 3810, and then overwrite javatrig.exe from build 3809

Create a subdirectory REDIST for the output

Run the command iexpress /n java3810.SED

You then have msjava that installs on any box.

It is wise to have also UBMSJVM.EXE around, so you can uninstall it if need be.

Worked!

I made an IEXPRESS silent install but changed the install command to

javatrig.exe /l /nowincheck /exe_install /q

which I found in another forum.

I did not found build 3809 of MSVM , but build 3805 did the same job.

Thanks os2fan2!
