The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) downloads from Microsoft ended up stopped after law fits with Sun Microsystems the original creators of the Java platform (based on Microsoft extending Java with Windows only elements which might prevent use on other vendors JVM's, breaking cross platform compatibility).
The Microsoft Java Virtual device was offered by way of the initial model of Service Pack 1 for Windows XP which was introduced on 9th September 2002. In case you downloaded Service Pack one just before February 3, 2003 or have an integrated install of Windows XP with SP1 from ahead of February 3, 2003 you must already have construct 3805 with the Microsoft JVM on your technique. Microsoft has since been produced to make Support Pack 1a that does not incorporate any JVM, and can not incorporate it in later on Services Packs. Nonetheless if you already have Java set up and upgrade to a later Support Pack it'll not be taken out.
In technical terms Microsoft's edition of Java is now very old (Supporting Java as much as v1.one)
and may have compatibility issues operating code that can take advantage of capabilities Sun have extra in later variations of their Java Runtime Environment. Unless you will need the Microsoft edition for compatibility with code that makes use of proprietary Microsoft Java extensions you must download the Sun version.
In the event you do not have a Java Virtual device put in you'll be able to obtain it from your best hyperlink under, however you should then go to the windows update to obtain the latest version accessible. Acquiring the newest version is really important,

A Trojan is a program that does not normally replicate on a machine,
Office 2010 Standard Key, but causes a major safety concern. Develop 3810 will set up only as an upgrade to a previous model, so you must first set up 3809 or lower then 3810.
Note:
Following a recent settlement Microsoft are now able to issue protection updates for their Java VM until
Dec 31, 2007.
Originally
support was due to end in September 2004.

How to Remove the Microsoft JVM:
JVM Removal Tool:
Microsoft introduced an automatic removal tool for their java virtual device (develop 3802 and up), which they have now eliminated from your public web site because the removal can not be reversed, and they no longer provide a method to reinstall the MS-JVM. Even so you can download the removal tool here
Another tool to help determine what reliance your applications have on the Microsoft Java Virtual Machines is also offered here
The Manual Way:
To do this go to Start > Run and paste the following into the run box RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection java.inf,UnInstall
In the event you are working an older model of your JVM you might want to upgrade to version 3809 or 3810 (windows update) ahead of the above command will work.
You will then be asked in the event you really want to remove the virtual device and then reboot. At this point if a message is displayed to the effect of 'removing the JVM will prevent you being able to download files' this refers to files downloaded by way of java applets rather than regular file downloads. Although the VM has now been taken out it has not removed all remnants of the VM's existence from your device, in the event you wish it is possible to remove the following without adverse effect.
