I need to switch from the installed java 7 at 64bit to the installed java 6 on my Windows 7 64bit OS but the usual procedure doesn’t works.
I tried to change the JAVA_HOME environment variable but when I type java -version, the system replies Java 7…
How can I switch from different java versions?
Thank you.
You need to switch the path environment variable too, to point before to the JRE bin directory. Also, I think modern versions of java place a copy of “java.exe” in the system32 directory of Windows, you’ll need to remove them (or rename them, if you want to keep them as backups).
