Sun will won his trial...

And the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine will be removed in the Windows 2000 SP4 (From the MSDN CD of Windows 2000 SP4 for example)
Frequently Asked Questions About the Microsoft VM and Windows 2000 Service Pack 4


When you install Windows 2000 directly in SP4, there is not Java VM.
You must install the Sun Java VM.

I hate the Sun Java VM, too much bug, too heavy, works badly with Insight Manager and Dell IT.....
And it was impossible to install the Sun Java VM on the computer's users.

I works for one day, and knowing Microsoft, I knew that it had a solution there for install MS Java VM on a Windows 2000 SP4.
And naturally it s not informed in Microsoft site.

HERE IS THE SOLUTION

You must have 2 DLL
- vmhelper.dll (version 5.00.3810)
- msjava.dll (version 5.00.3810)

Download MS Java VM (Build 3810) here:
First Location : MS Java 3810

Download MS Java VM (Build 3810) here:
Second Location : MS Java 3810

Extract this package with Winrar or other and extract msjava.dll and vmhelper.dll from javabase.cab

Copy msjava.dll and vmhelper.dll in your system root (C:\Winnt\system32)


And for no user interaction and no reboot use this command line:
MSJavx86.5.0.3810.exe /c:"javatrig.exe /exe_install /l /qq /nowin2kcheck" /q:a /r:n

Or this for no reboot but see what is installed

MSJavx86.5.0.3810.exe /c:"javatrig.exe /exe_install /l /qq /nowin2kcheck" /q:u /r:n


For verifier that Java is installed, go in Internet Explorer > utils > Internet options > advanced > you must have now a Microsoft VM Line and three options !

Works Fine under Windows XP SP1a !!!!!!

If you want to verify the log file, go to c:\WINNT\vminst.log or C:\WINDOWS\vminst.log

At the end of this log file, you must have:
Install successful.
Exit code: 00000000

Don't forget to reboot your PC !!!!!

Merci pour l'astuce !

Thanks for the easy way !

[UglyBagofWater]

Works fine with my build of Windows XP Pro.

Thanks for the no reboot option - was missing that piece!

[Porteur]

merci.

Copy this batch file in the same folder as the exe and run it to install.
Need write access to the install folder (can not be executed from readOnly CD media).
