how does java determine which version to run if I have multiple versions ?
I had an issue with Business Objects not working on my machine, and the likely reason is that I had 32-bit Java loaded on a 64-bit machine. At the same time I also downgraded IE-11 to IE-10 since BO doesn't support IE-11, but I don't think IE was the issue.
So in looking at what's loaded on my machine, I just wondered how Java determines what to run ?
I don't have a JAVA_HOME environment variable, but my path does have PATH=C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath.
C:\ProgramData is new to me (and not visible in Windows Explorer), and it has as SYMLINK file, which is basically a shortcut / pointer to my 64-bit folder for Java jre.

One would like to think that's what IE would use. Whether it does is another matter ;)
thank you, very helpful info.
