# Select Java Virtual Machine

Select the desired virtual machine from the list. Only Java 1.6 and higher is supported. We recommend to select a Java Development Kit (JDK), but you can also select a Java Runtime Environment (JRE). If you select the default virtual machine, a JRE is installed in the Bundled_JRE_1.6 subfolder in the installation root directory.

### Important!

If you install on a Windows-i586 platform, select a 32 bits java version.

If you install on a Windows-x64 platform, select a 64 bits java version.

If a JRE with the same version was already installed as Bundled_JRE_, the Update JRE check box is displayed. If this check box is selected, the Bundled_JRE_ in the destination folder is backed up and overwritten with the new bundled JRE. Select this check box to repair the JRE or to update it with a new build of the JRE.

By default this checkbox is only selected if a newer JRE version is available than installed before and a feature is selected that directly or indirectly needs a JRE to run. Ensure that the Bundled_JRE_ is not in use by extern programs. The default is recommended. If you don't know the default anymore, press the default button.

During a fresh install, the Update JRE check box is not displayed and the new JRE will be installed.
