From what i know, u shouldnt have problems installing the SDK from Sun on Windows when you have a MS JVM already available.

J2SE SDK is the JDK and comes with the JVM.This picture may help you understand: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/index.htmlNo problem for having multiple VM's installed as long as you handle properly your 'path' environment variable.-Alexis

Thanks, am74686 I don't know very much about it, at what environment variable path do you referr? To the JAVA_HOME variable or not?

The PATH environment variable. See the Installation Instructions for the SDK for information on it.

Some applications that need a JVM (J2SE SDK) can find the binary files they need from the JAVA_HOME environment variable, but not all (depends on the launching script if any). So update your PATH variable to include <java_home> \bin.-Alexis
