Hi Shaun, Quote One thing that I noticed that ever since java6.0 sun considers it as a core component, so you can't uninstall it. End quote
It sounds to me like your Windows install is having registry issues. You most certainly can add and remove the Sun JRE 6.0 from Add and Remove programs. For example on my laptop I can go to the Windows Vista control panel, open programs and features, and Java TM 6 Update 3, shows up in the list of add/remove programs. If I wanted to I could right click on it right now, and click on uninstall and it would go by. However, as I am developing with it I obviously am not going to uninstall it right now. Though, sometime in the near future I will be upgrading to Java 6 Update 4. Quote Well the sapi sdks are 500mb to. End quote The Sapi 5 SDK is not necessary for .NET development. Visual Basic .NET and C# .NET can access the SpeechLib.dll file via com without a full SDK. Besides which The speech sdk has been rolled into the Windows Vista Platform SDK which means the old Sapi 5.1 SDK is deprecated anyway. Quote Although I can't seem to run native java programs because the standard jre runtime interface is graphic, sun java rendered in websites is real accessible and stable. End quote Well, from what I have heard it sounds to me like your Windows XP Java installation is corrupted. If you have been manually deleting your Java machine you likely have all kinds of registry keys pointing to the wrong runtime machine which would not only hang accesssibility, but return the wrong vm for the application. You either need to scrub your registry with something like registry mechanic pdq, or reformat your system. All I can ask is in the future please get your facts strait before you get on list spreading false information to the rest of the gaming community. Fact is as a developer I often have to correct such eronious and false roomers as this all the time. Someone says something untrue about some technology like Java, and then I have to spend tech support time helping some customer, or potential customer, realise what was said by person x is not true, and then explain to them how the matter can be done the right way. Often times the damage is already done because they installed or uninstalled something they were not suppose to the wrong way. For example, with Java the install order is this. Install Sun JRE install Java access bridge. Now, to install it you reverse the order. Uninstall access bridge uninstall JRE. Then, install upgrades. That is not rocket science. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.
