11730 - JRE causes crash on launch in Win95

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 5369

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[bobj]

Couldn't figure out why for days I could no longer launch 5.0 on Win95.
Finally, I tried uninstalling JRE, and now I can run 5.0 again.
None of the Java* componentsdescriptions sounded appropriate.

over to edburns.   I think this is a dup.  its a top talkback problem.
we should make sure its a high profile release note item.

The release notes contain two statements:

"Do not use Java Plugin 1.3. It doesn't work with the most recent mozilla
builds, and crashes will result. Make sure there are no files named *npjava*.*
in either the bin/;lugins directory or the NS4.x plugins directory. This problem
is being addressed. For more information about this bug, see bug 5369."

and:

"If you have installed the latest JRE 1.2 from Sun Microsystems, you may crash
at startup if the Java plugin is present. To fix this, remove the following dlls
from the Plugins folder located in your 4.5 (or later) Communicator directory:
npjava32.dll, npjava12.dll and npjava11.dll."

S'okay? And I'm confused about the version numbers -- 1.2 or 1.3?

I think the one provided in the current installer is the Sun JRE 1.2.
I removed JRE from Win95 by using the Add/Remove Programs control panel.
That worked for me and might be easier than
     To fix this, remove the following dlls from the Plugins folder
     located in your 4.5 (or later) Communicator directory:
     npjava32.dll, npjava12.dll and npjava11.dll.
