This is what I've got currently (1.6.0_18-ea-b01) before installing this update.

So just exactly what build is the correct one? why would I want to go backwards.

Thank you, automatic Java updater that makes human notifications gratuitous. Thanks, Sun developers who programmed the updater.

On my Win 7 (64-bit) system, the Java Control Panel applet in this version will not save any setting changes. The fix is to set javacpl.exe to always run in administrator mode. Hope this is helpful!

The auto-updater had this waiting for me when I got home - 17-b04 shows as the version I got.

I usually do the offline, too, as the auto-updater never before saw an update right away. But since it was there, telling me... It seemed easier. :D

Ok i just downloaded it again and tried to install it and got this.

Says it's already installed

If using the offline installer MarkAW uninstall the build you installed earlier and reinstall again.

Those who have Java 1.6.0_18-ea-b01 have an Early Access version, a Beta. That's what the ea in the version string stands for.

yes it would be wise to stick wherever possible to the current build unless of course you like to get your hands on early beta builds :)

Build 17. Guess need to find 18. And I thought Shockwave Flashplayer website always freezing on me was a bore.

Ok then why would the version i downloaded yesterday as shown in my attachments be of a beta when it clearly shows that it's a download of the latest version, but when installed it turns out to be the beta as you say?

Don't know the why of what you are downloading and installing, from what link or internal updater; the version # displayed on your screenie shows 18 - ea - b03 - early release program - build 3.

Suggestion: To run the latest stable public release, uninstall that beta and reinstall the stable Update 17.
