Internet Explorer 8 and JAVA 1.5 update 13
Permalink   
 


Hi,

 

I need to virtualize internet explorer 8 with java 1.5 update 13 because we have an old web application that need java 1.5.u13 to work, if the java is high the application don't work well.

 

On a Windows XP from IE6, I start Cameyo, prescan, install ie8-WindowsXP-x86-ENG.exe, reboot, install jre-1_5_0_13-windows-i586-p.exe, build the cameyo package, when i'm trying to launch my new ie executable he crashes, i'm trying to launch it on the same machine, to do a test, on the same machine i've build the cameyo package.

IE start but crashes, see attach image.

 

Is it possible with Cameyo ?

 

Or someone have another software or possibility to do that ?

 

Thanks Roger

Hi Roger! 

I tried as well, and I believe you've gotten farther then me. smile

 

I don't believe that it will be possible with Cameyo, you're trying to virtualize an application which Microsoft has essentially embedded and integrated with their operating system.  I have 2 alternative suggestions for you:
1.  You could try creating a package for another browser with that ver

sion of java (old version of Firefox perhaps, or even *gasp* Safari).  If your web app is locked to IE, you might be able to get around that by including an IE emulator add-on for the browser in your package (something like IETab).


2.  Use something like Virtualbox to virtualize the whole darn XP OS set up the way you need and deploy that to your users.  This might not be too terrible, since you could even lock that down to just IE and possibly even snapshot the VM right at the open IE window.

 

Not ideal, but unless you can update your web app server I think that's what you'll be stuck with.

Thanks for the reply !

 

I'm going to look if Oracle E-Business Suite is compatible with another browser and try to build java with that browser.

 

Thanks Roger

I've made some test with Firefox 24 ESR this is the maximum i can go with our Oracle suite bundle with Java 1.7U10.

With VMware ThinApp it work great, i'm trying to do the same thing with Cameyo i cannot.

On the physical computer i have JAVA 1.7U51

When i package firefox and java 1.7u10 with Cameyo, my firefox use both java plugins, see screenshot Firefox_with_cameyo.jpg

When i do the same thing with VMware ThinApp 5, my firefox use only java plugins 1.7u10, see Firefox_with_thinapp.jpg

 

I got two questions;

how to exclude the java plugins 1.7u51 from Firefox and my cameyo package to leave only the version 1.7u10 of java ?

how to exclude all plugins from Firefox to leave only the version 1.7u10 of java ?

 

 

Thanks Roger
