I have someone trying to install a program called eslipse. When they double click the executable it gives the message "Required Java Version: 1.4.1. Availlable 1.3.1_01".

I have reinstalled Java 1.4.2 but the system still defaults to the 1.3.1. How would I go about changing the default to 1.4.2?
 
Make the PATH variable point to the bin directory of the 1.4 one.

Cheers,
Dian
 
And make sure JAVA_HOME is set to your JDK install

I have JAVA_HOME set to: "C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_01\bin" in the environment variables.

As far as teh PATH variable, I don't see this. Where would I look?

 
JAVA_HOME should be set to: "C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_01"

(not the bin directory as you have it).

The PATH env var is in the System variables section and should be set to :

%JAVA_HOME%\bin

So for PATH, I type is exaclty as "%JAVA_HOME%\bin " that?
