Solve : Installing RealRead Viewer with Vista Business x64 (IE security warning)? |
|
Answer» I'm trying to view a document from NFPA (National Fire Prevention Association) in order to verify electrical standard codes for my wiring on an industrial machine installation I'm doing at work. But in order to view the document it prompts me to install RealRead Viewer. When I try to install the RealRead software I get the dialog box attached: QuoteFrom the image security warning : Windows has blocked this software.... see this Link.So now, for security reasons, I should uninstall java v6 update 29 64 bit, correct? You should have the correct and install only one Java version which is on the latest version 7. Thanks jason2074! I got it working now. First I tried changing my IE security settings for Java per instructions in your link but still no joy. I still got the results shown in attachment 1 and 2. When I clicked the link ("For JVM click here") in order to download the latest Java it displayed v6 update 29 (from the Java website). When I investigated further I found that v7 is not yet available from the Java wesite, but it is available from the Oracle website. Also, the Java v7 I had installed was X64 but my IE9 browser is x86. So I uninstalled both v6 update 29, and v7 x64. Then installed v7 x86 from the Oracle website and presto! The RealRead document opens fine now. And I have only 1 Java installation. Thanks again!

You said you could read the documents fine after installing v6 update 29. These Java updates automatically come through for most users. Therefore, most users do not need to take manual action to go out and find the latest version; Java will automatically alert them to available updates and they can then download and install the updates to Java. Also, installing an update to Java, it will normally automatically remove the older version. This has not always been the case; going back a few years ago, installing updates would CAUSE multiple instances of Java installed and the user had to remove the older version(s). But then, Oracle changed that so that installing an update automatically removes the previous version.

No it was not, although I did want to install the latest version while I was at it for security. The original problem was me installing Java v7 x64 because I was thinking of my 64 bit OS, rather than installing x86 to match my x86 IE browser - my bad. But I have a new issue with the v7 installation related to your post: Quote from: soybean These Java updates automatically come through for most users. Therefore, most users do not need to take manual action to go out and find the latest version; Java will automatically alert them to available updates and they can then download and install the updates to Java. With v6 u29, I had a Java Icon in the control panel. Now, with v7 installed I attempted to access Java through the control panel to be sure automatic updates is enabled but there is no Java icon there now. And I don't see how to access it via C\program files (x86)\java\jre7 When I open the jre7 file (shown in attachment) I don't know what to do next. How do I access the Java information now? [regaining space - attachment deleted by admin]My control panel [regaining space - attachment deleted by admin]Never mind. I found it via clicking on the "View 32 bit control panel ITEMS" icon. I never noticed that before. The Java "check for updates automatically" box is ticked. Thanks again!!! |
