Vista - I want to install MSJVM in order to install Siebel

Hi,

My OS is vista.When i try to install msjvm(msjavx86.exe) system says installation successful but no jvm is actually installed on my machine.this i am doing inorder to install siebel.I have installed sun JVM also.it is installed.but when i am installing siebel, the system says "Setup is not able to detect msjvm on your machine,plz install msjvm from cd/original manufacturer".kindly advice as i am frustrated.

(FYI:I already know msjvm is no longer supported by sun)

thanks

You'd do well to first find a version of Siebel which is built on top of a current, supported JVM.

The MSJVM was never supported by Sun - it was a Microsoft product. However, MS stopped updating it long ago, with the net result being that the msjvm is now substantially out-of-date both in terms of functionality, and more importantly security.

I'd find it almost impossible to believe that current versions of Siebel are still reliant on the MSJVM.


EDIT: By the way, it's considered bad form to knowingly cross-post the same question into multiple sections of the forum, especially those that have nothing to do with your issue.

(First of all:sorry for posting the issue in multiple section, as I am firstimer to this forum i was under the impression that i will not get answer in one section)

Coming to your suggestion, 1) I do not have choice to install current version of siebel as i have the installable of siebel Ver 7.5.3 only.

2) Yes you seems to be true, current version of siebel should not reliant on MSJVM and i am also pretty sure that they must be running on sun JVM.

3) Let us not debate on the above two points, as per my problem, can you suggest how can I run siebel 7.5.3 version on sun JVM..i.e is there alternative driver or software needs to be installed???

No, sorry, I am not a Siebel expert by any stretch. Someone else may be able to provide you with a practical solution. If not, and searching the web does not help, you may want to ask Oracle themselves. After all, they now own both Siebel and the (ex-Sun) JVM. I expect they'll probably tell you to upgrade though.
