111233 - Java runtime does not install correctly under XP

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 100393

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[David Stults]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120
BuildID:    2001112009

When going to my bank's account manager tool, which is written in Java, as well
as any other web site using Java (I've tested lots), The applet has an icon in
it informing me that I need to install the plugin.  I click on it, install the
Java 2 1.3 runtime, and reload the browser.  When I go back to the page, I get
the same message in the applet window.  It's not recognizing that I have Java
installed.  This is on a very fresh install of Windows XP Professional.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://homepage.tinet.ie/~leslie/testpage/speedtest.htm
2.Click on "Click here to get the plugin"
3.Install the plugin per directions
4.Go back to http://homepage.tinet.ie/~leslie/testpage/speedtest.htm


Actual Results:  As if I never did steps 2 & 3 in "Steps to Reproduce"

Expected Results:  I expected that java applets will now work.

I otherwise am quite happy with what I see, and I'm ready to quit using IE
altogether.  But, unfortunately, as has been my experience in the past, IE,
while made by Microsoft, is easier to use and more reliable than
Netscape/Mozilla.  I eagerly await the day when I can quit using exploder.

Reporter:
From the 0.9.5/0.9.6 release notes:
If Java doesn't work, make sure the following is true:
On Windows:
Copy the NPOJI600.DLL from C:\JDK*\jre\bin to "\plugins" directory of your
installation.
