Java SE 7, Update 5 (JDK 7u5)

Anything good/bad about updating from 6 to 7 ?

Google doesn't really come up with any good answers.

Hi Ken,

I had an issue after updating and had to revert back to 6. Here is a link to what happened to me.

Anyone running Java 7u5 on IE9 (32bit) with the "next-generation Java Plug-in" enabled able to run the "Verify Java version" on java.com?

I can't get it to run (always get an error) unless I disable the "next-generation Java Plug-in". (for that matter, 7u4 also didn't work for me)

Thanks Nick!

For a few lonely poors who had problems installing recent JRE 6/7, this might be a solution:

EMET: set DEP to 'Application Opt Out' to install the package, then reset DEP to 'Always On'

Good luck

Displays wrong version in the "about" screen.

I'm not sure why you think it's displaying the wrong version, GuruGuy.
As I mentioned in the other thread, build 1.7.0_05-b05 is correct for Java Version 7 Update 5...it's always written out that way.

Oh, and thanks, Nick.

The new build is "u5" not "b05"

Did you look at my screenshot in the other thread, and also try out the test page I linked to? Unless I'm totally off the wall here, you have the most up to date version.

Yes, I did see your screenshot. The build version showing in your screenshot is the same as mine.

However, the NEW build version is "u5". Not "b05". Thus the reason for my question, why is the build version not showing as "u5".

Yes. However the NEW build version is "u5" and not "b05".

Why is the build version showing the wrong version.

I guess Java.com was not offering 6.33 since I went from 6.32 to 7.05. I always update from Java.com only, and have never updated directly from Oracle.
Also this version did not uninstall my previous version automatically 6.32. And what is this Java FX 2.1 component? I have not seen that before.

Thanks.

Desktop Win 7 x64 Emsisoft Anti Malware v6. Laptop Win 7 x64 & Desktop XP Pro Emsisoft Anti Malware v6 & Online Armor Premium v5. Netbook Avast v7. Netbook MSE. MBAM and Hitman Pro used on-demand only.

Noticed the same thing. Have no clue what this FX 2.1.1 is and whether it can just be removed or not.
