Java Won't Work!

Post by Rajiv »

I recently got the latest version of Java from school. It installed fine but whenever I try and start it up - it comes up and then vanishes.What is the problem?

What do you mean latest version of java? Java as in a java compiler? Or Java Run Time Environment? or Java as in a flavour of coffee?

And give us a little more detail about the machine.

No. What is the program called? Did you get the iunstaller, or did you just copy the install directory out of program files?

Monty - What do you mean? There was a folder, I opened it, I copied the jdk-6u23-windows-i586 and then ran the application.

just a moment, I must fetch a mug of really strong Java.

Do not worry, the guys will help you.

Rusty wanted to know what version of Java it was, when you entered the command what answer did you get?

It should look something like this?

C:\>java -version
java version "1.6.0_23"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_23-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode, sharing)
