Installation Instructions
This procedure installs the Java SE Runtime Environment, but not the Java Plugin
or Java Web Start (which are not yet available for 64-bit Windows). The
Java SE Runtime Environment for Windows 64-bit comes bundled in the install
formats whose filename is given here:
- Self-extracting binary:
jre-1_6_0_<version>-windows-x64.exe
To install, download this file and otherwise follow the 32-bit
Windows installation.
The following are some of the known issues when you install a 32 -bit JRE on a 64- bit Windows architecture machine:
- Online Installation and Java Update features are not applicable to 64-bit architecture.
- The public JRE installed with the 32-bit JRE is not registered. You must set the
PATH environment variable to point to JAVA_HOME \bin to register the JRE.
