Hi I am installing the java runtimes through runonceex with the following code

REG ADD %KEY%\051 /VE /D "Sun Java VM 1.4.2" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\051 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\j2re-1_4_2_07-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v/qn [IEXPLORER=1]" /f

But it doesn't seem to install properly because when I go to sites that need it to open certain things is doesn't seem to fire up.

One site said that I didn't have Java VM, Apple Java and Apple MRJ installed, but aren't these included in the j2re??

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Wanna give a link to the site?

EDIT: , you don't enclose IEXPLORER=1 in brackets

Thanks, i'll try that.

I went to the https://www.stgeorge...nks/default.asp then clicked on log in, then compatibility and it told me I was missing these things

and you'll need another set of quotes around /qn iexplorer=1

you probably want your code to look something like this

REG ADD %KEY%\051 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\j2re-1_4_2_07-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v\"/qn IEXPLORER=1 REBOOT=ReallySuppress\"" /f

I don't want to hijack this thread, but a quick question -- has anyone tried removing the Java_path\lib\zi directory and had no adverse effects.
I'm looking at that (zi) directory and it contains numerious small files relating to country information and zone information.
I don't plan on visiting non-English sites, so I'm not sure if I need to keep that directory.
I just want to know, cause I hate keeping non-essential files. Thanks.
