Login to a PUCC PC. (NOTE- A PC, NOT a MAC) Go to Start/Standard Software/Compilers/Install JDK 1.1.6

Start

Start/Standard Software

Start/Standard Software/Install jdk1.1.6

Alright, Now you will get the following Screen

This is a mess-up somewhere along the line. Please hit Cancel. Note, we are trying to fix this, so if you do not get this message, don’t worry about it.

After you hit Cancel on Step#5, you will see this screen. Windows is getting the files it will need to install the JDK

Windows is getting ready to install…

Please click Next here

Please click Yes here

Please Click Next

Again, Please click Next here

You will see this screen

Please click Finish!

We have a problem here that has not yet been resolved. The JDK is apparently writing over some Windows dll’s and putting in older versions. Please click OK here.

Please Click Ignore here. There shouldn’t be any problem with windows, but if you restart your computer, then the JDK will disappear!

Open Windows Explorer – Look, you have a new directory at C:\jdk1.1.6. This is where the JDK is located. You can run the Java compiler (javac) or the appletviewer from any folder.
