I'm running Win XP and uninstalled the MS Virtual MAchine thinking I could point to the Sun 1.4 VM instead.
I downloaded & successfully installed the Sun JDK 1.4.1_01. I was playing around with the 'sort' demo in the directory: myJDK\demo\applets\SortDemo\example1.html . I received this error message stating to "download & install the Java Virtual Machine".
However, when I execute that (or any of the other demos) from the directory: myJDK\demo\applets\plugin\SortDemo\example1.html
then the applet executes with no problem. So it seems this (different) path picks up the plugin whereas the other path doesn't.
Is there a way I should tell it to recognize my JRE, or is what I described normal?
