Plz read first, step 6 Java download question.

[tpolcha]

It say's to select the files you want.  How do I know which of the three I want?

1. Windows x64 executable.
2. Windows online installation.
3. Window's offline installation.

I don't know which ones I want to complete the update 4 download and install.

Thanks, T

choice number 1 is for people who use 64 bit XP or Vista.
If you use 32 bit windows (most people do) then choose either 2 or 3. It honestly doesn't make much difference which one you choose.
The online installation is a very small download, but it download files during the installation.
The offline installation is a larger download but doesn't download anything during the installation.

I understand more now thanks.

I believe I am 'most people' and use 32 bit Window's.  I can choose the second or third download choice.

I already downloaded the first choice 64 bit.  Where do I go to remove it.  It doesn't show up in my control panel and when I ran CCleaner 'tools' it wan't there either.  I have an executable file sitting somewhere.  What do you think I should do?

[Deerpark]

If you don't use 64 bit windows you won't be able to install 64 bit Java.
Have you tried to install it or just downloaded it?

I already downloaded the first choice 64 bit.

You didn't install it, because it'd not let you, right?

[Broni]

Search your computer for:
jre-6u4-windows-x64.exe
and delete it.

[tpolcha]

It's icon is displayed on my desktop, it's properties path shows it sitting in the desktop.  I don't know if it installed or not.  I don't know how to find it to get rid of it before I mess something up.

I see another response has already been sent to me and I will 'search' for it.

[Deerpark]

You must know whether you've installed it or not.
To install something you double click the file and go through a setup process. If you haven't done that it isn't installed and you can simply delete the file sitting on your desktop.

Deerpark...
As you said before 64-bit in no way will install on 32-bit. He'd receive an error message.

[tpolcha]

The search did it, I looked at it's properties again and it read as:
jre-6u4-windows-i586-p-iftw.exe

Either way I found it now. 

Thanks, you guy's have not only taught me alot, one of the things is some confidence.

[Broni]

Cool
