Java JRE 64-bit for Windows?

Question

I am working on a website project with a Java component and am currently testing browser compatibility. Most of them are fine, but some of Java does not load in 64-bit browsers. It looks like I need a 64 bit JRE for testing. Where can I download the (stand-alone) 64-bit Java runtime installer for Windows?

The official download page is here: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

If I'm not blind, there is nothing 64-bit for Windows, except for a link to notes. The indicated notes are here: http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_win64bit.xml#Java%20for%2064-bit

Especially relevant excerpt:

"Users must download 64-bit Java software if they work with 64-bit IE. To download 64-bit Java, click 64-bit download manually

The only standalone installer, as far as I can tell, has only installed a 32-bit runtime. Then we go back to the square! Am I missing something or am I losing my mind?

Answer 1

Can this be the download you are looking for ?

• Go to Java SE Downloads .
• Scroll down to view the main table with the heading "Java Platform, Standard Edition."
• Click the JRE download button (JRE is the runtime component. JDK is the developer's kit).
• Select the desired download (all platforms and 32/64 download bits are indicated)
