Installation Instructions

The Java 2 SDK for Windows 64-bit comes bundled as an executable file j2sdk-1_4_2_<version>-windows-ia64.exe. To install this version, use this file and otherwise follow the 32-bit Windows installation.

Known Problems

The Beta installer has a bug where it fails to remove temporary .pack files when it is done. The files are located in two lib directories; assuming the SDK was installed into C:\j2sdk1.4.2, you could manually remove them from:



    C:\j2sdk1.4.2\lib\*.pack
    C:\j2sdk1.4.2\jre\lib\*.pack
