I'm on this for a really long time. I need to have JRE 6 running on a new nonactivated Windows server 2019 essentials to be able to use a very old remote controller for some servers (old IBM & DELL racks).
No matter what version of java I install, it's just not running. I don't see it in the bottom right corner or in the running services. I know it seems very basic but I couldn't find a solution online.
Am I missing something? All I could find online is suggestions to add java to the environment variables but that is for a different issue. I tried it desperately but of course it didn't solve the problem.
Java, or more precisely the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), is not something that runs in the background. JVM is used to start specific applications. How the
java.exeor similar executable will be resolved and invoked will depend on the specific application.What you usually see in the Windows task tray area is a the Java update checker (
Jucheck.exe). Whether or not this service is present will depend on selected installation options. It also might be that a very old Java 6 simply does not ship it.
