1347542 2013-06-30 11:19:00 Do I need to install both 32 bit and 64 bit of Java?

I'm having only 64 bit of Java installed, it's Java ver 7 Update 21. Is it necessary to get update 25?

1347543 2013-06-30 11:45:00 I think you just need to install the version that's the same as your OS. I don't see why you'd need both.

Yes, you should upgrade to the latest versions, they are constantly patching security holes!

1347544 2013-06-30 11:59:00 Thanks. Do I need to uninstall the older ver first before installing the newer ver? bk T (215)
1347545 2013-06-30 12:19:00 You don't have to but I think it might be better to do so to avoid clutter. Agent_24 (57)
1347546 2013-06-30 21:09:00 Its a good idea to uninstall old versions. They've still got vulnerabilities. It depends what browser you use. If its 32 bit you install the 32 bit version. If you use a 64 bit browser the 64 bit version Speedy Gonzales (78)
1347547 2013-06-30 21:26:00 Thanks guys.

Have uninstalled the old and reinstalled both 32+64 bit update 25.

This was caused by java vulnerabilities in older builds as there was 2 to be uninstalled
