Java Runtime Enviroment v1.1.8

[Linda Cooper]

I have installed JRE but each time I try to execute it tells me it is not installed.
Is there a secret I don't know?

Try installing the entire 118 of the JDK your application might be looking for some components You can download it from

If that fails ....

Swinstall provides /opt/java/jre/jre.tar.Z file. Uncompressing and
extracting file creates: /opt/java/jre/jre/.. directory structure.

If the product is used at this point the applications indicate could not find JRE.
The install directions should say to "move the tar file to /opt/java
and then untar it...or leave it there as a part of swinstall, etc.

The file format for the HP Java Runtime Environment (version 1.1.5 for
HP-UX 10.2) has recently been changed from a compressed tar file
(.tar.Z) to a .depot file, requiring a root user to run the swinstall
utility in order to install the JRE. Previously the jre executable
could be installed simply by uncompressing the JRE compressed tar and
subsequently uncompressing the
/Java-Jre1-1/JAVA-JRE/opt/java/jre/jre.tar.Z file. The
1.1.3 JRE and 1.1.5 JRE for HP-UX 11 are still provided in the
compressed tar format, and it is only the JRE 1.1.5 for HP-UX 10.2
file which has changed.

We currently provide a solution for allowing HP-UX admins to package
and distribute the HP Java VM as part of a custom installation of
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 for HP-UX (see
http://www.microsoft.com/ie/unix/?/ie/unix/ie40/ieak.htm). The admin
includes the HP JRE tar file and IE''s setup program invokes a script
which extracts the jre executable to the user''s bin directory at setup
time. The .depot format prevents us from providing this script to
extract the jre executable upon installation.

This is expected to be addressed /fixed shortly

may aslo be worthwhile running swlist -l file -a state ? grep -i jre ?
