John Veteran Posted June 6, 2003 Veteran Share Posted June 6, 2003 it's on the windows update catalog as "816093: Security Update Microsoft Virtual Machine (Microsoft VM)". or look at http://www.filemirrors.com for "msjavx86.exe" the newest build is 5.0.3810 and the size is 5.07 MB (5,319,000 bytes) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/83875-microsoft-java-vm/#findComment-925255 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muffzilla Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 I have had problems with Sun's java as well. In particular, I have had it lock up my browser while visiting some websites. An example would be to run the speed test at dslreports.com.

Fripi Posted June 7, 2003 Author Share Posted June 7, 2003 the update found on M$ Win Update downloads is only an update, so it needs an existing version to be installed :-/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/83875-microsoft-java-vm/#findComment-926434 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont blame gameguy That is the legit file name, file mirrors is a place to download the file you want under that filename. If someone renamed a 'trojan' to that filename, then of course gameguy cannot be blamed for that now can he? And how do you know its a trojan?

Krome Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 I did not blame gameguy... yeah it sounds like it but I was not blaming him.. I was complaining to him and want to make everyone aware of that also... I don't know for sure it's a trojan. The file is over 5meg but when executed, it does nothing but write some dll file to the WINDOWS\System32 and write a short DOS script... and the file does not have it's own legitmate install icon.. it has windows default application icon...

John Veteran Posted June 7, 2003 Veteran Share Posted June 7, 2003 this is an old version of the file, but the new one has the same icon. scan the file for viruses, it might be the normal installer. try loading some java applets, do they load? look in internet options, on the advanced page. there should be a section for the microsoft java VM. if not, it's not installed and that's either the wrong file or it had an error installing. try launching it from a command prompt, that should let you see what it outputs in the dos box.

Krome Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 You probably download the right one.. the one I download is way over 5meg.. 5.37meg and the date on it is 6/5/03 and it does not have that icon...

uniacidz Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 Yeh doesnt sound like a legit prog http://java-virtual-machine.net/download.html Download from there, should be version 3809 DOWNLOAD Now cos MS dont have a outright JavaVM offically anymore, they do however update. In other words, you need a old version of VM to install the newer 3810 version from Windows Update. Kinda sux but blame a slow SunJava and a lawsuit for that.
