Changing Version of JRE
Hi,
I had installed JDK 1.5. But an application that was running with JRE1.3.0_01 stopped running on this JRE1.5.0 giving a memory heap error. Actually the application was an applet.
So, I had to install JRE1.3.0_01. Windows Registry says it's now 1.3 because of this installtion (earlier it was 1.5).
But I wanted JRE 1.5.
So, when I tried to install JRE1.5.0, it says '..already installed...'. Which is true but the version in use is 1.3 only and registry is showing as 1.3 too.
How can I make it 1.5?
Any help is appreciated. (I don't have administrative rights on my machine).
Thanks

make sure both the public and private jre is removed, the jdk installs a private jre. If that still doesn't work you may need to ask your admin fix the registry, see the plugin faq
