Java VM install problems (IE 6 xp pro)

[asilryc]

when I go to websites that require java, it brings up the
auto download, appears to download correctly and brings
up the microsoft website, stating "We're sorry. Automatic
installation of Microsoft Virtual Machine is no longer
provided for Microsoft Windows XP."
I already had this component installed and working before
we had to re-install XP Pro due to a new hard drive.
How can I install this so I can use java components
online?

I have had the same problem, and it's due to the Sun Micro System Vs Microsoft court case. Microsoft has agreed to remove the support for Virtual Machine. If you want to use java see my post earlier for Vm get around or just visit java.sun.com and download their Java software. It works on all Windows versions including XP.

This should solve your problem. If it annoys Microsoft then it's worth doing, and doing well!!
