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?

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...

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.

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.

    • Of course the sales are bad. Who even asked for a thinner phone with way less battery? Lightness? It's still a giant brick, it's just a thinner giant brick. It makes no sense at all. Making folding phones thinner, now that does make sense. Because when folded, the thinner it is unfolded, the more usable and pocketable it is when folded. You already expect worse battery at expense of actually being more pocketable. Galaxy Flip, when folded is half the size of S Ultra models and about as thick. That does make a big difference when fitting it in a pocket. But the phone that's as big as Ultra, making it thinner, you don't really solve anything, it's still a giant slab that barely fits into a pocket. All the "Mini" phones made way more sense than this thin crap. Especially now that it's literally impossible to find a phone smaller than 6.5". My dad only needs phone for calls and SMS and he doesn't want to go with smartphone because they are all so massive. Especially cheaper ones. Like, he'd be fine with Galaxy A06 for all he cares in terms of hardware, but it only comes in giant 6.7" format. It's useless. Or is he suppose to find a 800€ old gen iPhone Mini or Zenfone? He doesn't even need those stupid specs and such stupid price. And then you see old people fumbling around with giant smartphones and they don't even need 3/4 of features on them.
    • its funny now instead of robots built for a specific task which is more efficient we are focused on humanoid robots that are built for do anything but might not do it as well because of restrictions similar to how human body works and they were molded after...
    • 3,900 mAh. When compared to the S25 Ultra (5,000), the S25+ (4,900) and the S25 (4,000), it has the worst battery of them all, all because of that slim size. Everything comes with sacrifices.
