I downloaded and opened ftp.netscape.com/pub/netscape6/english/6.2/windows/win32/plugins/jre131i.xpi and mozilla said that the install was sucessful but the plugins were not put into the mozilla plugin directory and when I tried about:plugins the java plugin wasn't listed and java.sun.com didn't work. I did see the jre go through the whole installation process the only part that seems to be missing is populating the plugin directory with the java plugin files. I usually just copy all files from the old mozilla plugin directory into the new mozilla plugin directory and that usually works but it crashed - just sat doing nothing - on java.sun.com so I decided to install the new jre131i.xpi but that didn't work.

Same issue with 2002010203. I tried installing the same xpi file and then manually copying the 05/06/2001 11:14a 49,245 NPJava11.dll 05/06/2001 11:14a 49,245 NPJava12.dll 05/06/2001 11:14a 53,338 NPJava131.dll 05/06/2001 11:14a 49,245 NPJava32.dll 05/06/2001 11:14a 45,150 NPOJI600.dll files from the JRE to the mozilla plugins directory. Clicking about:plugins lists Java Plug-in File name: C:\Program Files\m0103\plugins\NPOJI600.dll Java Plug-in 1.3.1 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper) Mime Type Description Suffixes Enabled application/x-java-vm Java Virtual Machine for Netscape 6.x Yes Java Plug-in File name: C:\Program Files\m0103\plugins\NPJava11.dll Java Plug-in 1.3.1 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper) Mime Type Description Suffixes Enabled application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.1 Java Applet Yes application/x-java-bean;version=1.1.1 JavaBeans Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.1 Java Applet Yes application/x-java-bean;version=1.1 JavaBeans Yes application/x-java-applet Java Applet Yes application/x-java-bean JavaBeans Yes Java Plug-in File name: C:\Program Files\m0103\plugins\NPJava12.dll Java Plug-in 1.3.1 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper) Mime Type Description Suffixes Enabled application/x-java-applet;version=1.2 Java Applet Yes application/x-java-bean;version=1.2 JavaBeans Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.3 Java Applet Yes application/x-java-bean;version=1.1.3 JavaBeans Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.2 Java Applet Yes application/x-java-bean;version=1.1.2 JavaBeans Yes Java Plug-in File name: C:\Program Files\m0103\plugins\NPJava131.dll Java Plug-in 1.3.1 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper) Mime Type Description Suffixes Enabled application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.3.1 Java Applet Yes application/x-java-bean;jpi-version=1.3.1 JavaBeans Yes Java Plug-in File name: C:\Program Files\m0103\plugins\NPJava32.dll Java Plug-in 1.3.1 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper) Mime Type Description Suffixes Enabled application/x-java-applet;version=1.3 Java Applet Yes application/x-java-bean;version=1.3 JavaBeans Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.2.2 Java Applet Yes application/x-java-bean;version=1.2.2 JavaBeans Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.2.1 Java Applet Yes application/x-java-bean;version=1.2.1 JavaBeans Yes but when I access java.sun.com the browser freezes when I see in the status bar says "Starting plugin for type application/x-java-vm"

flyguy..did u try the linux installer? or the windows one? asking cos the link above points to the windows installer and "PLATFORM" says linux. I will try this as well. Pmac,can u pls also try this and report what u see?

I tried installing again at home with the same setup except with Service pack 2 and it worked. I think there is just a bug with the Java Runtime because at home when it starts up I see the little java guy in the system tray but on this computer I just see the browser trying to start it up but it never succeeds. It might just be that my registry keys get messed up because I use the non- installer build.

I just tried the newest daily build using the installer - 2002011103 - and I just copied the java plugin files from the JRE - I didn't reinstall the jre - and it did the same thing. Maybe I'll try installing service pack 2 for w2k and try again. Otherwise... not sure what I can do.

please try to follow the instruction at http://gemal.dk/mozilla/java.html and see if that doesn't help you. If it does, please close this bug...
