Due to a law "soot" against MS, java no longer
comes with windows. You must download the
java runtime "environment" from:

http://www.sun.com/

then upon installation it will be automaticly enabled.
(hint: the "SDK" is not it.)

Greetings --

As the result of a lawsuit by Sun Microsystems, and the resulting
settlement, Microsoft is no longer allowed to provide its own Java
Virtual Machine to Windows users. You can get almost the same
functionality by downloading Sun's version of Java from
http://java.sun.com/getjava/index.html. If you want the broader
capabilities of Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine, it is still
available from a lot of 3rd-party web sites, some of which are listed
here: http://www.java-virtual-machine.net/download.html.
