Millions of questions already on the web about how to tell whether the OS is 64-bit, but not whether IE and/or Java runtime is 64-bit.
Some background: I installed 64-bit Win 7, and IE installed automatically with it from CD; I didn't download IE.
I did download Java runtime. Mouseover tips in Control Panel!Programs shows it as: "Java 32-bit Java(TM) Control Panel"
Then I went to http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp and that page says...
We have detected you may be viewing this page in a 32-bit browser. If you use 32-bit and 64-bit browsers interchangeably, you will need to install both 32-bit and 64-bit Java in order to have the Java plug-in for both browsers.
But I cannot tell in the aftermath whether my Java is 64-bit. Evidently the "Java(TM) Control Panel" is, but I don't know if that's the same as the runtime. (I'm afraid to ask on the offical Java forums, because they're such a-holes.)
Also, How do I issue a command to the OS to tell whether this IE is 64-bit? Help!About doesn't say on that.
Thanks.
