Java Download

Updae 9/2012: The latest version of Java that works with Kronos is Java 6u35

Download it here:
http://bit.ly/java6u35

(Please Note:  One file is for 32-bit Windows and one is for 64-bit Windows.. Not sure which version of Windows you have?  Click here for instructions.)

Disable Java Updates

You can disable Java Updates so you don't accidentally update to a Java version that doesn't work with Kronos. 

How-To disable Java automatic updates:  http://screencast.com/t/H1gAd6PRTj

 Please Note: 

• This will only work with a Windows machine, Apple controls the updates to Java.
• If you don’t see the update tab, make sure you are updated to version 6-31.
• After you uncheck the “Check for updates automatically” button and hit apply and ok, go back in and make sure that the box is still unchecked.  If it’s back to being checked, then do this:
  • Open Windows Explorer and go to:  C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin
  • Then scroll down till you see:  javacpl.exe
  • Right click on it, and click Properties.
  • Click on the Compatibility Tab.
  • Check the Run this Program as an Administrator.
  • Click Apply, then click Ok.
  • Now you can go back to the Control Panel and any changes you make in the Java should stick.
