Okay, my mistake. I agree. Thanks
But in that case <rant at Sun> why haven't Sun updated the Consumer web
page?
Seems damn poor if their different sites are all offering multiple versions.

Thanks again

It puzzles me also because if you want Java Update 6 with EE this is the
latest version. I wonder why my Java Runtime 5 with Update 6 will not
automatically update. Have any users tried Java Runtime 5 with update 7
and/or 8 and found it to work well? Thanks for the responses.

I updated to 7 when it came out, and it worked just fine in IE and FF.
Yesterday, I upgraded to 8, and it also works just fine.

I have never found the Automatic update or manual update for any version to
work worth a darn.

Thanks, Tom. I will update to Java version 5 update 8 from Java version
5 update 6 and remove the old version of course.

You shouldn't have it auto-update anyway because it fails to remove older
versions !
