JRE 6u33 for Windows 7 64 bit installation
Hello,
Here's my July 4th question. I have been reading the JRE 6 installation online documentation.
I came across the process of installing it using the silent method with this command;
<jre>.exe /lang=1033 /s IEXPLORER=1 MOZILLA=1 STATIC=1 /L C:\<path>JRE-setup.log
First question; I looked in the Program Files/java/.../bin for the <jre>.exe (jre-6-rc-windows-i586.exe) and do not find it. I see the "java" which is the "application" could this be it?
How should I or could I install/setup the JRE to run on Windows 7 64 bit?
The <path> above I will fix later.
thanks

Doug, thank you for your prompt response. Darn, I did not think that it was that executable they were writting about. I did dougle click on that executable, so I reckon I'm good to continue.
I will issue the points shortly. Once again thank you for the clarification.

Doug, may I ask this next question? Being that the JRE was installed, I now am focused on the jdk6u33 for Windows 7 64 bits. I was reading the installation documentation at the Oracle site...gee what a joke, it loops back. So I decided to look elsewhere.
I found this; http://mindprod.com/jgloss/environment.html#WINNT
Where it reads; With NT/W2K/XP/W2003/Vista/W7-3
Question: Is this statement correct?
I'm hoping to find how to set up the environement variables, if I need to do so in Windows 7.

Thanks for answering two in one.

If so the <jre>.exe it's talking about is the file you download from Oracle.
E.g. For 64bit windows from here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre6-downloads-1637595.html
It should be called:
"jre-6u33-windows-x64.exe"
Once you have that file you can run it with whatever options you wish. (Or just double click on it to install it normally - rather than silently).
There's no special requirements for 64-bit Windows 7 - just make sure you're getting the correct installer from Oracle.
