Multiple copies in Program List

In Add/Remove program list, I have found J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 and J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6. I am aware that Update 6 is 3 or 4 Updates behind, but the main question is do I need the original J2SERE 5.0 any more or can I just install the latest update and remove all earlier versions?

Separately, the Programs list under the Start Menu shows Java 2 Runtime Environment, while yet another of the Java programs in the Add/Remove list is Java 2 Runtime Environment , SE 1.4.0_03

I'm running a newly installed Win XP system, and I recall there was a problem with Win98SE when I had two different copies of Java in the program list then, so I thought I'd check it out. Thanks for any help..

You can remove any old JRE releases. I recommend to remove any older versions before you are going to install 5uX. The 5.0 release is not required for an 5.0 update release. The latest JRE can be found at http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp (scroll down to "Java Runtime Environment"). I recommend to install 5u10 or wait until Java SE 6 is on the web.

You can leave them alone if you wish. There is no harm in having more than one JRE in your system - in my opinion.
