You can install 32 bit Java in the XP.

You can install both 32 and 64 bit Java on the 7.

Yes.

You can install 32 bit Java in the XP.

Or 64-bit.

You can install both 32 and 64 bit Java on the 7.

I'm nearly certain you cannot install Java 64 bit on a 32 bit operating
system. Can you back that claim up with any evidence ?

"the 7"?

The Windows 7 64 bit host.

Liebe Gruesse,

Who's talking about 32-bit OSes?

I never claimed you could run a 64-bit Java on a 32-bit OS.

The Windows 7 64 bit host.

The OP never said it was Windows 7.

The OP never said it was Windows 7.

I'm wrong.

I read the body of posts and usually don't pay attention to the title.
that bit me this time.

OP

"I have installed windows virtual pc which runs windows XP"

Combined with the knowledge that the Windows Virtual PC to Windows 7
Proffessional Edition only support 32 bit guest OS and comes with
a license for 32 bit Windows XP Professional.

I never claimed you could run a 64-bit Java on a 32-bit OS.

You did. Maybe unintentional, but still.

The OP never said it was Windows 7.

What is the subject of the thread?

Attention to detail!

Attention to detail!

You mean like your attention to the detail that I'd admitted my error before you posted
a correction to me twice?

No, I didn't. I erroneously claimed that the VM would run a 64-bit XP.

This is why we tell people to put all relevant information in the body of their post.

 

[Arne Vajhøj]

No, I didn't. I erroneously claimed that the VM would run a 64-bit XP.

I am sure that was what in your mind.

But someone asked what Java could run on something that people
with knowledge about Windows know is 32 bit, I said that he could
install 32 bit Java and you claimed that he could do 64 bit as well.

In your defense, when you asked, I was baffled as to why I thought it was
Windows 7, and read the OP twice, before starting to write an apology of
myself, until I saw Arne's post
