How to prevent that java.exe is installed in Windows’ system32?

by

I discovered yesterday that there is a problem with Java versions on Windows, as you know keeping java up to date these days is critical, especially the JRE used by Internet explorer located in the Windows system32 or syswow64 folder.

You can perform a search for java in your C: drive and look at the various executable files it finds to determine if the situation applies on a specific system.

After doing some research I find that when the Java updater runs, it only updates the files installed in the JAVA home , usually located on the program files, but it does NOT update the files located in the windows system folder. As a result and since the system folder is in the default system PATH , the usage of Internet Explorer continues to use an old version of the JAVA files ( java.exe , javaw.exe , javaws.exe )

The solution is to uninstall java using the control panel uninstall programs feature, download most recent version and install again.

Cheers!
Fernando
