Delete Old Java Before Intsll New Version?
The Sun web site says not to delete older versions of the Java Runtime
Environment (I currently have version 1.4.1.02 on my XP system) before installing a later version (I want to install Version 1.6 -2, the latest version), but I've seen others post that you should delete the older version before installing a newer one. Advice, anyone?

Advice, anyone? When Java installs a new version, it does not uninstall the old version, but it does set things up in your browsers to use the new version (assuming that you've enabled Java in the browsers). I have seen the advice to uninstall first, but I've never had a problem installing the upgrade and then uninstalling the older version. BTW, uninstall -- don't "delete." -- Lem -- MS-MVP - Networking To the moon and back with 64 Kbits of RAM and 512 Kbits of ROM. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Guidance_Computer

Delete Old Java Before Intsll New Version?
1. Uninstall /all/ JRE versions via Add/Remove Programs and reboot.
2. Delete C:\Program Files\Java =this folder, if found. Do NOT delete C:\Program Files\JavaVM =this folder, if found! 3. Download the Windows Offline Installation file for, e.g., jre 1.6.0_02, saving it to your desktop. 4. Close all browser windows and install. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) AumHa VSOP & Admin; DTS-L.org TMitchell wrote: The Sun web site says not to delete older versions of the Java Runtime Environment (I currently have version 1.4.1.02 on my XP system) before installing a later version (I want to install Version 1.6 -2, the latest version), but I've seen others post that you should delete the older version before installing a newer one.

I've been told that this advice has been given elsewhere. Is it correct? TIA

When you say "delete", I suppose that you mean "uninstall", don't you?

I will do it. Each one of the old versions take almost a quarter of
gigabyte on your hard disk. Please "uninstall" them, do not "delete" them.

Advice, anyone? If you are very cautious wait until after you have a clean install of the new version. The main thing is not to have two versions installed at the same time to avoid conflicts and to save disk space. Make sure you install build 6 of the update 2 which is available here : https://sdlc5c.sun.com/ECom/EComActi...1 D4286F6315F or possibly at java.com also by now.
