Installation Notes

JDK 5.0 Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (64-bit AMD)

 
  Print-friendly VersionPrint-friendly Version

System Requirements

For supported versions of Windows, along with disk and RAM requirements, see System Configurations.

Installation Instructions

This procedure installs the JDK, but not the Java Plug-in, Java Web Start or public Java 2 Runtime Environment (which are not yet available for 64-bit Windows).

  • AMD 64
    The JDK for Windows AMD 64 comes bundled as an executable file jdk-1_5_0_<version>-windows-amd64.exe. To install this version, double-click this icon. For other details, follow the 32-bit Windows installation. Beta 1 has no update, patching, plugin or webstart support.

Known Problems

The Beta installer has a bug where it fails to remove temporary .pack files when it is done. The files are located in two lib directories; assuming the JDK was installed into C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0, you could manually remove them from: 

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0\lib\*.pack
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0\jre\lib\*.pack
