System Requirements
This option starts the installation process by downloading and executing the file jre-160-windows-i586-iftw.exe, which prompts you through the steps to download and install only the features you request. Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is Java’s most basic virtual machine. It’s a required component to run any Java-based application or web applet. Java software allows you to run applications called 'applets' that are written in the Java programming language.
- Java 6 32 bit free download - Adobe Captivate (32-bit), Adobe Captivate (64-bit), Java Development Kit (32 bit), and many more programs.
- Download Java 6 Update 32. Java 6 Update 32. The Java Runtime Environment is intended for software developers and vendors to redistribute with their applications.
See supported System Configurations for information about supported platforms, operating systems, desktop managers, and browsers.
Running with less memory may cause disk swapping which has a severe effect on performance. Very large programs may require more RAM for adequate performance.
Troubleshooting the InstallationNote:- Trying to install the Java SE Runtime Environment on a non-supported version of Microsoft Windows or on a machine that doesn't have a sufficiently up-to-date Service Pack will cause the installer to generate this warning: 'We recommend that you do not install this Java platform for the following reasons: This Java platform does not support the operating system or operating-system service pack on this machine.'
- See Browsers Supported by Next-Generation Java Plugin for information about browser support in the new Java Plugin.

Note: For any text on this page containing the following notation, you must substitute the appropriate update version number for the notation.For example, if you are downloading the installer for update 1.6.0_01, the following file name:would become:1.If choosing 'Windows Offline Installation', download and check the download file sizeAfter clicking the JRE 'Download' link for the 'Windows Offline Installation' a dialog box pops up -- choose the following option:
- Save - This saves the downloaded file without installing it. Check that you have downloaded the entire file by comparing the size of the file you downloaded with the expected size shown on the download page:
jre-1_6_0_<version>-windows-i586.exe
This file contains everything needed to install the Java SE Runtime Environment, including the installer and character conversion classes and support for locales other than the US English locale.
You must have administrative permissions in order to install the Java SE Runtime Environment on Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP.
The download page provides the following two choices of installation. Continue based on your choice.
a.Windows Online Installation - After clicking the 'Download' link for the JRE, a dialog box pops up -- choose the following option:- Open - This starts a small program which then prompts you for more information about what you want to install.

Windows Offline Installation - Run the file downloaded in step 1 by double-clicking on the installer's icon. Then follow the instructions the installer provides. When done with the installation, you can delete the downloaded file to recover disk space.With either choice, the installer may ask you to reboot your computer 3.If you want to run Netscape 7.x, Mozilla 1.x, or Firefox 1.x with Java Plugin, do this:- Exit the Netscape 7.x, Mozilla 1.x, or Firefox 1.x browser and all of its 'objects' (Messenger, Composer ...);
- If the Quick Launch feature is enabled, disable it;
- Then restart Netscape 7.x, Mozilla 1.x or Firefox 1.x.
The installation process also installs Java Web Start.
Java Web Start- Compatibility: The release of Java Web Start that comes with this JRE can be run on JRE 1.2.2 or later. It will not work with JRE 1.1.x or earlier.
- Upgrading from Previous Versions: If you have a previous release of Java Web Start, do not uninstall it. Uninstalling it will cause the download cache to be cleared, and all previously installed Java Web Start application data will have to be downloaded again. This new release will overwrite previous installations and automatically update browsers to use this new release. The configuration files and program files folder used by Java Web Start have changed, but all your settings will remain intact after the upgrade, since Java Web Start will translate your settings to the new form.
- Uninstalling: The only way to uninstall Java Web Start is to uninstall the JDK/JRE. Uninstalling the JDK/JRE will not, however, remove the cache for previous releases of Java Web Start. Previous releases have separate uninstallers for Java Web Start.
Note:
You may see a misleading message if you do the following:
You may see a misleading message if you do the following:
- Download and cache a Java Web Start (JNLP) application with JDK/JRE 5.x
- Remove JDK/JRE 5.x using 'Add or Remove Programs' from the Windows Control Panel
- Remove the Java Web Start application using 'Add or Remove Programs.'
When you remove the application, you see an 'Uninstaller Error' dialog saying 'An error occurred while trying to remove Java-Application: <name> App. It may have already been uninstalled. Would you like to remove Java-Application: <name> App from the Add or Remove program list?' If you say yes to this, then you will see another 'Uninstaller Error' dialog saying 'You do not have sufficient access to remove Java-Application: <name> App from the Add or Remove Program list. Please contact your system administrator.' This is the misleading message. It implies that the problem is due to privileges. It is not. The problem is that you have already removed the Java Web Start application when you removed JDK/JRE 5.x, but this is not reflected in the 'Add or Remove Programs' dialog until it is refreshed by pressing F5 or it is closed and reopened.
To avoid seeing this misleading message, either press F5 or close and reopen the dialog. Any Java Web Start application that was downloaded and cached with JDK/JRE 5.x will no longer appear in the list of currently installed programs.
- Using Java Web Start with Netscape 6.x/7.x: For Netscape 6.x/7.x users, setup the Java Web Start MIME type (JNLP) in the Edit->Preferences->Navigator->Helper Applications section. The file extension is
jnlp
; MIME Type isapplication/x-java-jnlp-file
. It should be handled by thejavaws
executable file in your Java Web Start directory. Also note that, due to a problem with the JavaScript in Netscape 6.x/7.x, you must use the non-JavaScript version of the demos page

Java Development Kit (also known as JDK) contains the software and tools that you need to compile, debug, and run applets and applications that you've written using the Java programming language. JDK has as its primary components a collection of programming tools, including javac, jar, and the archiver, which packages related class libraries into a single JAR file. This tool also helps manage JAR files, javadoc - the documentation generator, which automatically generates documentation from source code comments, jdb - the debugger, jps - the process status tool, which displays process information for current Java processes, javap - the class file disassembler, and so many other components.
The JDK also comes with a complete Java Runtime Environment, usually called a private runtime. It consists of a Java Virtual Machine and all of the class libraries present in the production environment, as well as additional libraries only useful to developers, and such as the internationalization libraries and the IDL libraries.
Contents of the JDK:
Development Tools
(In the bin/ subdirectory) Tools and utilities that will help you develop, execute, debug, and document programs written in the JavaTM programming language.
Runtime Environment
(In the jre/ subdirectory) An implementation of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for use by the JDK. The JRE includes a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), class libraries, and other files that support the execution of programs written in the Java programming language.
Additional Libraries
(In the lib/ subdirectory) Additional class libraries and support files required by the development tools.
Demo Applets and Applications
(In the demo/ subdirectory) Examples, with source code, of programming for the Javaplatform. These include examples that use Swing and other Java Foundation Classes, and the Java Platform Debugger Architecture.
Sample Code
(In the sample subdirectory) Samples, with source code, of programming for certain Java API's.
C header Files
(In the include/ subdirectory) Header files that support native-code programming using the Java Native Interface, the JVM Tool Interface, and other functionality of the Javaplatform.
Source Code
(In src.zip) Java programming language source files for all classes that make up the Java core API (that is, sources files for the java.*, javax.* and some org.* packages, but not for com.sun.* packages). This source code is provided for informational purposes only, to help developers learn and use the Java programming language. These files do not include platform-specific implementation code and cannot be used to rebuild the class libraries. To extract these file, use any common zip utility. Or, you may use the Jar utility in the JDK's bin/ directory: jar xvf src.zip.
