java plugin error

[Christoph Pütz]

After installing cim 7.2 SP2 i reache the CIM strat page and after authentication i installed the appropriate java plugin (1.3.1_02). After this i get an error (see attachment). This occures on my win 2k workstation, which before had a java-plugin 1.4 installed. Other win2k or win nt systems have no problems to access CIM.

You need to decide if you require both versions of the JRE.

I'd recommend removing all JRE's and then re-invoking the IM Console which will re-update the JRE it requires.

Do NOT check the box that ties it to a particular Browser, you can also check that the "Use Java 2...." box is not checked, found under the Advanced Options tag in IE.

This means that the browser will not automatically fire up a set version of the JRE but will leave it to the Application. With this you can then have multiple versions of the JRE.

But, even after that I've seen issues with multiple variants of the JRE's, they just don't seem to get along too well.
