Title says it all.
I did a clean install (as administrator) of 32-bit Java 7 Update 17 by installing the .exe file called "JavaSetup7u17.exe" from the oracle website.
(you and I both know how there are crap loads of files that you can download from the Oracle website, most of them older versions of java, but then also some confusing ones such as "jxpiinstall.exe", the runtime environment (JRE), the development kit (SDK), java virtual machine (JVM), the J2SE, the Java SE 6, and whatnot....)
Anyways, here is the thing: I run Windows 7 64-Bit Home Premium, I use Firefox 19.0.2 and IE 10.0.9200.16521 as my browsers.
On Firefox, if I go to the Java test page (How do I test whether Java is working on my computer?), it detects my Java version without problems.
But if I load the exact same page on IE10, I get the message:
"No working Java was detected on your system.
Install Java by clicking the button below."
...and clicking the red button below that, takes me to the same page which let me download and install JavaSetup7u17.exe in the first place (see first sentence of this post)
=========================
Moving on, there is more funny things going on:
On my 64-bit system, Java 6 used to install in the folder called "Program Files". Java 7 now installs in the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
That being said, Java also used to put a copy of the java.exe, javaw.exe and one other java related .exe in the Windows/System32/ folder
SO, if I opened up cmd (the black box) as administrator and typed
java -version
...it would search this folder for java and then tell me the version.
Well, funny thing is, Java 7 has no java files installed in the System 32 folder.
So by typing java -version in the cmd, I get a fail.
Last but not least, I cannot open .jar files and .jnlp files even if I right click on them and select the Java.exe app to open them with - I get a black box for the fraction of a second and then it disappears when i double click the files.
I have made sure that the "scripting of java applets" in the internet security settings of IE10 is set to enabled, but to no avail.
I have also done this (clearing Java cache): How do I clear the Java cache?
...but to no avail.
Please help me out.
