Hi Jane,
You are quite welcome.
Time to hit the sack down here.

Hi,
You will need both, one for IE32 and the other for IE64.
This is a page where you can confirm the successful installation:

Hello!

BTW, two interesting observations:

1. G1 garbage collector is now included:
http://www.nofluffjuststuff.com/blog...collector.html
http://stuffthathappens.com/blog/200...tion-for-java/

2. msvcr71.dll dependency
http://www.duckware.com/tech/java6msvcr71.html

Is Sun right? Must an EXE that launches the JVM include msvcr71.dll
in the EXE directory? Sun could have statically linked to the C
runtime and totally eliminated the the requirement for msvcr71.dll,
but Sun chose not to. Sun could have created a stub JVM loader
DLL, which loads needed DLLs like msvcr71.dll and calls the real
Java VM, but Sun chose not to. Instead of fixing the problem once
for all Java developers world wide, Sun decided to push the problem
out to be fixed by all Java developers. Typical Sun attitude
that I have seen first hand for over 8 years.
