Please help. Thanks > puppytina You can safely remove any of the older Java versions that you do not need. The Java developers have specifically designed their update installation routines to leave older Java releases in place; this way they don't have to take the trouble to make the newer versions backwards-compatible. However, be aware that a lot of the more complex web-based applications - especially those connecting to Oracle databases - are written for specific versions of Java and sometimes "break" once the user installs a newer Java version and removes the older one. -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555375 They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~Benjamin Franklin Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. ~Bertrand Russell The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers. ~ Denis Diderot

Guest puppytina Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Re: java 6 Sorry, don't completely understand what you mean, first you say I can delete the older versions of Java & then you say something about Oracle databases?? Don't know what that means, sure do appreciate your help.

"In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Java <=this folder. Delete any subfolders except the subfolder jre1.6.0_07 which was just created by the installation above." That's not good information because some software such as Apple Quicktime will drop a Java Jar in the folder and set an environemntal variable pointing to said Java Jar in that folder. If you manually remove the folder [ such as "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_06" when you have v6 update 7 installed ] you will delete the Java Jar and break Apple Quicktime's use of said Java Jar. For example... You installed Apple Quicktime when you had JRE v6 update 5 installed. Apple Quicktime will drop its Java Jar in "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_05" and set and evironmental variable to the Java Jar in "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_05". -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp
