Java 8 32-bit Download Windows 7
Abbey Synnott
I though this was a Windows 11 problem but after trying on my old Windows 10 PC I get the same error. Sorry for the re-post, I thought it was a Windows 11 issue.
Due to a hard disk crash I have to re-install Line6 Edit for my good old Pod 2.0. But the installer depends on being able to download and create jre_setup.exe for Java Runtime v1.6 32-bit and that download fails. Being fully aware of the security issues with outdated Java installs, what are my options?
I'm surprised Windows11 even works with a 32-bit computer. Are you sure you have a 32-bit version of Windows 11? Go to Windows - Settings - OS Build Info. Under Device Specifications - System Type - Does it say 32-bit or 64-bit? My Windows10 64-bit computer runs Line6 Edit fine. Also why does the Java download fail? Is there an error message?
It's not the computer that is 32 bit but rather that the line6 editor is trying to download it. The computer is a new i9 Windows 11 x64.
If you look where the app is installed, it's installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Line6\ which is used for 32-bit architecture.
When installing it flashes a warning saying it needs the runtime, attempts to download it with a "Connecting" message then fails with another error message with no specifics given. When you run the app, it then gives you the message, "This application requires a 32-bit Java Runtime environment 1.6.0". It sends you to the JRE download but only 64-bit is available, I believe as I cannot find any 32-bit versions on the Java site. Only options appear to be on online file archives and they make me nervous, even though I have BitDefender.
Same error for Windows 10. So, if for any reason you lose your Line 6 edit installation (as I did) you can't reinstall.
Problem solved although I'm not crazy about having old Java on my PC.
I found the Java archives and figured out what appears to be the last version to support 32-bit Java (indicated by windows-i586 in the name, I guess named after Intel Pentiums): -later-archive-downloads.html
This requires that you create an Oracle account. You have to be sure you are signed in when you are on the link above or the download won't work so check the "Accounts" icon in the top right if you have trouble..
I downloaded and ran the file jre-8u311-windows-i586.exe and this time when I ran Line 6 edit, it ran as expected and connected to my Pod 2. and I am back in business! I hope this helps someone!

This may or may not be something in which I'm interested at some point, but I heartily commend and thank you for following up and presenting the solution to the problem that you encountered. Wish everyone were so helpful and considerate!
To use my internet banking website, I need to have Java. It appears that Firefox no longer supports Java and I have had to use IE to check that site. I noticed that the 32-bit version of Ffx still works but despite several tries, the machine will only download the 64-bit version again... Any suggestions?
FF bit version is based on your O/S bit version. Which banking site are you referring to? Maybe others whom use it or go to it to find out if they have the same problem to check it out. I used IE11, FF58 on my banking system online and it works just fine and I have Java 9.0.4 installed.
To answer points so far...The bank in question is RBS. Problem first showed up on my laptop and i was advised to make sure all updates were installed but it made no difference. They then mentioned that their latest update of their banking website requires the web browser to support Java... Wife's desktop now has same issue - 5 weeks after my machine...I agree - weird that a big bank should issue a new version otf it's web pages that is unsupported by all browsers. I have no problem logging in if I use IE - not FFx!
Windows users downloading Firefox from www.mozilla.org are served a improved stub installer which since Firefox 53.0 defaults to Win64 if you have 64-bit Windows 7,8,10 and 3+ GB RAM. The stub installer ever since Firefox 18.0 used to serve 32-bit Firefox. To make sure you get what you want you can go to www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/
Thanks james and jscher2000.Seems like there is nowhere to go with this issue... My bank is the only website I have this issue with (with the exception of plenty of hotel wi-fi connections, where IE has to be used to complete the log-in process...)I am surprised that RBS haven't said anything about it. When I spoke with them they just said 'make sure you have all the latest system updates installed'. My final question is speculative: Surely they will have known that their new website has this issue? Why not tell their customers? Is there some commercial arrangement in the background? Or am I unwarrantedly sceptical...?Again, thanks for indulging and helping a total amateur, guys!
Well it was FF58 and java was what I was talking about-did I say 52? No, you interpreted that I was talking about 52 when I was referring to 58 and java 9. I never said that java ran when I use 58 only have it installed.
No point mentioning you have Java installed when both Java 9 does not come with NPAPI Java Plugin (Java 8 still does) and the Java Plugin would not run in Firefox 59.0b or the 58.0/58.0.1 you meant to say anyways.
--Edit-- I found that a small percentage of users were having issues with Java appearing to be missing in Firefox and Chrome. I have found the culprit to be Java FX 2.1.1. It is necessary to remove Java FX 2.1.1 to get Firefox and Chrome to work for these users, but it can be done before or even after Java 7 update 11 is installed. Using the Un-Install Wizard under Scripting > Configuration Policy and keeping everything on default worked flawlessly for me. ----
When I first started playing around with Java deployments using managed installations, I came across the issue of getting 32-bit Java deployed to 64-bit machines. I found a few workarounds, but they required scripts or too much manual work. I wanted the convenience of a managed install. This is what works for me.
Note: The string above installs silently, turns off auto update and update notifications, and registers java with all browsers.Also, since new versions of Java come out more frequently than I update this post, make sure the installation command matches the version of Java you are using.
Pro tip: We use the "Execute after logon (before desktop loads)" managed action to prevent the install from corrupting due to Java being in use on the target machine when it is pushed out. If you want to execute immediately, you can zip up a .bat file with the msi and cab files and then replace the installation command with "filename.bat" (still have it set to configure manually). In the .bat file, you should have:
@tailfire I am attaching a batch and bash script which should help with spinning up clients on 32-bit systems. Note that these are as-is and unsupported. You can edit and use these as you see fit. They take up to 3 arguments currently:
Note that the bash script requires curl to download the launch client and windows makes an attempt to download from the gateway (untested against a gateway which requires SSL and will likely require modification). You must also specify your JAVA_HOME environment variable in their current state.
It should be noted that the 8.0.3 versions support fullscreen/windowed mode and attempt to grab an updated launchclient.jar from the gateway. You can also retrieve them via URL. for example: :8088/system/nativelaunch?type=legacy&os=windows the applicable OS args are windows, osx, and linux
When you have installed a 64-bit LibreOffice, and 32-bit JRE, LibreOffice would not be able to find and use the JRE, no matter how hard you would try it. Take care that you download from the Java home page (www.java.com) the right architecture. In this case, LibreOffice (of reasonably fresh version) would try to be helpful in its "JRE Required" error message, telling you that it needs specific architecture (e.g., 64-bit) of JRE.
Launching Java Control Panel ("Configure Java" available in Windows Start menu), and clicking "View" button on "Java" tab, opens Java Runtime Environment Settings window with Architecture column allowing to see if installed instances are 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x86_64).
On macOS 10.10 and newer, please note that you need to install JDK, not JRE. You may find download links choosing JDK version on this page. Note that Apple M1 is an Arm 64 architecture.On macOS 10.09, neither JRE, nor JDK are found.LibreOffice releases available from Apple App Store don't include Java support at all, because apps distributed in the App Store are not allowed to depend on optional functionality like Java.
I wanted know whether my JVM is 64 bit or not and found your tips very relevant. I don't require check if JVM is 32 bit but if any JVM is 64 bit than we do load native .so file from separate location.
Hi, We have several JDK and JRE installed on Solaris Sparc box, I want to find out which installed JDK or JRE is 64 bit ? Can you please share command to do that ? Also is it possible to run 32 bit JVM in 64 bit machine i.e. if My Solaris sparc box is 64 bit but JVM is 32 bit can I execute Java program there ?
