ERROR !
Microsoft Java Virtual Machine (JVM) component
in your machine is outdated. PPPshar will not work.
Follow the instructions below to update your machine.

JVM component is required in your machine to run Java applets and applications. PPPshar requires the JVM version 3161 or higher in your machine.

If you have Windows 2000 or NT 4 with the latest Service Packs then no need to download the JVM, you already have the latest version and so PPPshar will run without any problems. Most installations of Internet Explorer browser (IE 5.x or 6) will contain the Microsoft Virtual Machine for Java which is required to run PPPshar.

Note to Windows XP users: Windows XP does not come bundled with Microsoft (java) virtual machine (JVM) which is required to run java applets and applications. But you can easily upgrade using IE 5 or 6 browser setup or by downloading the jvm from Microsoft website. PPPshar will run only after JVM is installed in your machine. Download the JVM from this link below or update using IE browser 5 or 6. http://download.microsoft.com/download/vm/Install/3802/W9X2KMe/EN-US/msjavx86.exe

If you have installed IE 5.x or 6, then the JVM may not be installed by default. Internet Explorer browser v5.x (full installation, not typical installation) will install the JVM which is required to run PPPshar. Follow the procedure given below to update your machine with the latest JVM so that your machine can run Java applets and applications properly. Note: JVM is required only in the gateway machine. ie. the machine where PPPshar will be installed.

You can update your system with the JVM in either of the following two ways:-

• METHOD 1. Install/Update the Internet Explorer browser version 5.x, (IE5.x or IE 6) by following the instructions given below.

(OR)

• METHOD 2. Download and install the latest Java Virtual Machine (JVM) from this link
  http://download.microsoft.com/download/vm/Install/3802/W9X2KMe/EN-US/msjavx86.exe
  or Visit http://www.microsoft.com/java to download the latest.

METHOD 1.
Installing the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine alongwith IE 5

Run the ie5setup.exe (from the installation package/CDROM) to install a new version of IE5 or to update additional components when have already installed IE5.

When you setup or update IE 5 you will see the following two Setup options :-

1. Install Now - Typical set of components
2. Install minimal or customize your browser

• Choose the second one - "Install minimal or customize your browser" and Click "Next"
• You will see the "Component Options" screen
• There will be three options - typical, minimal and full.
• Select "Full" from the drop down box.
• You will then see a "tick" in Microsoft Virtual Machine component. If not, click the check box to select the Microsoft Virtual Machine.
• Click "Next" to continue with the installation/update.
