Similiar questions are everywhere, but I haven't found anyone that actually has a good solution.

Previously I have been able to choose "Run java this time" and avoid upgrading to the always latest very important security update. I try to avoid this because I ALWAYS get problems with the installation.

Now, I was stupid enough to do this in my Chrome web browser, leading to yet again a failure in loading java applets on web.

Does anyone have a good solution to making it work? Now I am stuck with endless messages that tells me to upgrade my already upgraded java version. I am using x64 Windows 7 (and yes, I download the x64 version)

    is your $PATH variable pointing to x64 Java? that might be the issue, if you have 32bit and 64bit Java installed.

Given that Chrome on Windows is 32bits, you need the 32bit version of java to have the plugin load in Chrome.

  • @Wilhelmsen - What do you mean it didn't work. I am pretty sure Chrome comes with Java extension by default.

  • Yes @Ramhound, but when installing an update with the chrome plugin everything stops working. By "it didn't work", I mean that java applets dont work, and chrome asks me to install an update, again, and again, and again... you get it

  • @Wilhelmsen - Have you tried to use Java Ra to clean your Java installation? singularlabs.com/software/javara

  • Thanks @Ramhound! In collaboration with this answer and your removal method it worked. user2313067, that was the problem at hand, but I hadn't been able to remove java properly before installation of the 32 bit version
