That's the way I understood it as well. To look at it from the other way that EG~ has, Mozilla and Firefox with Java would not run WU in the past.Quote:
I always assumed it used some Active-X control because it only works in IE..

Sorry, I think you misunderstood. I said Windows Update was annoying about my Vm being out of date and unsafe, not that it wouldn't work. ( and yes, M$ WU uses Active-X. ) It worked, just nagged me to death. That was quite a while ago when they first came out with their version for XP. So I installed it, then turned it off with Sun's JVM console. But I never liked the fact that is was there.
Also noticed yesterday that Sans has a link to javatester.org , and there it speaks of issues with of JVMs issued from companies other then Sun.
By the way, the uninstall of M$ VM went smoothly using the manual instructions from the link Black Cluster provided.
I noticed only two things during the uninstall of M$ VM.
First, I think Sun mixed up the listed root file systems for the respective OSs.
Second, when you start the M$ VM uninstall, a box comes up and tells you that IE will no longer be able to download files from the Internet if you continue. That doesn't appear to be quite true. ;)
And as far as Windows Update: no more complaining or nagging that their version is not installed.
